Land Rover is recalling more than 65,000 cars to fix a software bug that can "unlatch" the vehicles' doors.

Drivers would get no dashboard warning that the doors of their car had been unlocked, the firm said.

The glitch affects Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles sold between 2013 and now.

In a statement, Land Rover said no accidents or injuries were reported to have occurred as a result of the bug.

Another entry in the forthcoming blockbuster book, "The Internet of Things will be Fun Times."

    Why does this book about the Internet of Things have entries for non-connected vehicle software?

    Why does this book about the Internet of Things have entries for non-connected vehicle software?

    Don't worry, it's just a placeholder. When the time comes, it will be replaced by "Fun Times with IoT-connected teledildonics".
