This is related to the latest LR version 2015.8. This is not a problem of the camera since jpg are not underexposed. This problem occures mainly when shooting outside with a lot of sun and contrast and using the D+ setting of the camera.

Thanks for the many Replys. So I guess the raw converter has to be fixed, as RAW files with the D+ feature work fine for RAW files from the D5III, 7DI and 7DII.
It should not work either for those cameras. My guess is that they underexpose by a smaller amount as they have more headroom to start and so you might not notice, but raw files shot in any of the dynamic modes on any camera will come in too dark in Lightroom. It simply does not read this setting at all.

About the same applies to Nikon D-Lighting - thanks elie-di for the detailed explanation
If you shoot RAW, I suggest to turn off all of these gimmicks.

As mentioned above. Put simply RAW is RAW and LR doesn't honor 99% of In Camera settings for RAW files.

I have to agree with F. McLion - turn off the D+ setting in the camera.
elie_di has also given a very good explanation about what happens when you use it.
