What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

From owner reports, verbatim
I received a letter in August 2025 informing me about the passenger airbag recall for 2020-2025MY Land Rover Range Rover Evoque that said parts and remedy are not yet available. I received a second letter in February 2026 that said parts and remedy are available and advising I schedule a service appointment with Land Rover Range Rover dealer. I've called three Land Rover Range Rover dealerships in the DC-MD-VA area, and each one has told me "the parts are not available and are on backorder, and we don't know when they will be available" with no additional information about how I can get the parts/service when they are available. IF I'M DRIVING MYSELF AND MY FAMILY IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND SOMEONE IS HURT OR DIES, WHO WILL BE HELD LIABLE? I WOULD JUST LIKE TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED TO SAFE STANDARDS. THANK YOU.

The coolant is disappearing, the level is going down all the time. There is no external leak. I’m refilling the coolant tank every week. It might go into the engine but I’m not sure. The engine runs hot all the time after every drive. Thank you!

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.
