Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data
Data refreshed
Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

REAR END OF LR2 STARTED TO HUM AT 62,522 MILES. BROUGHT IT TO LAND ROVER DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND THE COST OF REPLACEMENT WOULD BE $3000.00 DOLLARS. NO VEHICLE SHOULD BE THIS COSTLY AT SO LOW MILEAGE AND AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT LAND ROVER WILL NOT FIX. DEFINETLY RECALL WORTHY AS THIS IS NOT SAFE AND COULD BE A ROAD HAZARD. NOISE HAS LOUDEND AFTER A WEEK.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.

Complaint and recall counts across every year of this model
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
