Land Rover Range Rover: Analysis
How to read recall counts
A recall campaign is a safety defect that the manufacturer or NHTSA required to be fixed. Counts depend on how long a model year has been on the road, so recent years look better than they will in time; this page therefore ranks only model years through 2024. A high count can also mean a manufacturer reacts quickly to small defects, so it says little about breakdowns or running costs.
What the recalls were about
Across all model years, the systems named most often in Land Rover Range Rover recalls are air bags (41), electrical system (18), latches/locks/linkages (16), seat belts (12) and back over prevention (11). The number in brackets counts model-year entries, so one campaign that covers several years is counted in each.
FAQ: Land Rover Range Rover Best and Worst Years
What are the best years for the Land Rover Range Rover?

Which Land Rover Range Rover model years have the most recalls?
2020 has the most, with 20 recall campaigns each.
Does a recall mean the car is unreliable?
No. A recall is a safety correction filed with NHTSA, usually repaired free of charge. It does not measure breakdowns or running costs, so use these counts together with a vehicle history report and an inspection.
Sources & methodology
Recalls and crash ratings come from the NHTSA datasets and APIs, retrieved on 2026-10-03. A record counts for this model when its make matches and its model name starts with the same words as "Range Rover", so variants such as body styles are included. Only model years from 2000 are used, and each recall campaign is counted once per model year. The data does not say whether an individual car was repaired, so check a specific car by VIN.
