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.

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.

4 DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IT BROKE DOWN DUE TO A LEAK IN THE ENGINE, THAT WAS FIXED. COST A 1000 TO REPAIR, WHEN THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE CAR JUMP AND STARTED TO SMOKE SO I PULLED OVER AND GOT IT TOWED. AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK, I NOTICED THAT THE ALARM WAS GOING OFF FOR NO REASON. ALL DAY (IT WAS PARKED). THE ONLY THING THAT GOT IT TO STOP WAS TAKING OUT THE FUSE, BUT THAT SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING IN THE FIRST PLACE. I REPLACED THE FUSE WITH A NEW ONE YESTERDAY AND THIS MORNING THE ALARM WAS GOING OFF IN MY GARAGE. THIS CAR ALSO HAS BATTERY ISSUES. I DIDN'T DRIVE IT FOR TWO DAYS AND THE BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. THIS CAR IS CAUSING ME TO GO INTO DEBT DUE TO ALL THE THINGS THAT KEEP HAPPENING. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS MODEL AND MAKE OF THIS VEHICLE HAS THESE PROBLEMS. SO MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS, I CALLED LAND ROVER TO ASK IF THIS WAS A ISSUE THAT HAPPENS OFTEN AND THEY COULDN'T TELL ME ANYTHING. I DON'T WANT TO PUT ANYMORE MONEY INTO A CAR THAT CANNOT BE FIXED.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE 2010 LR2 FROM A USED DEALERSHIP AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND SEAT BELT LIGHT ARE ON. THE SEAT BELT WORKS JUST FINE, BUT THE LIGHT STAYS ON (EVEN WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE CAR AND HAS THEIR SEAT BELT FASTENED). I SAW THAT THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL ON LR2'S FOR MY YEAR ABOUT THE AIRBAGS AND I AM WORRIED THAT THEY WON'T FUNCTION IF I GET INTO A WRECK BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS ON.
