 Changes in existing checks
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
+- Fixed :doc:`cppcoreguidelines-pro-type-union-access
+  <clang-tidy/checks/cppcoreguidelines/pro-type-union-access>` check to
+  report a location even when the member location is not valid.
+
 - Improved :doc:`bugprone-casting-through-void
   <clang-tidy/checks/bugprone/casting-through-void>` check to suggest replacing
   the offending code with ``reinterpret_cast``, to more clearly express intent.
