A complaint is an unverified account by the person who filed it, not a finding of fault. One complaint is one ODI number, which is how NHTSA counts them.

A recall is the manufacturer conceding a defect, and the repair is free. Whether one covers your particular car is a question only its VIN can answer, because a campaign covers a production range rather than a model year.

Crash test ratings

NHTSA New Car Assessment Program

NHTSA has not crash tested the 2013 Land Rover LR2. Its New Car Assessment Program tests a selection of each year's vehicles and does not reach motorcycles, heavy trucks, motorhomes or most low-volume models, so an absence here says nothing about how the vehicle would perform. It is not a low score.

What owners have reported about this vehicle is below, and it is a different question: a crash test measures what happens to the people inside in a controlled impact, while a complaint records what broke during ordinary use.

The defect
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain model year 2010-2015 LR2 and 2012-2013 Range Rover Evoque vehicles. A component within the Occupant Classification System (OCS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may fail, resulting in the front seat passenger air bag being totally or partially disabled.
The risk
In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, if the air bag is disabled, the air bag may not deploy or may not deploy properly, increasing the risk of injury to the front seat passenger.
The remedy
Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will update the Restraint Control Module software, free of charge. The recall began on August 30, 2014. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is P046.

NHTSA complaint 11418459. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

POWER TRAIN

36,000 miles

CURRENTLY THE CAR HAS 36,000 MILES PER THE ODOMETER. TWO DAYS AGO, A HUMMING SOUND STARTED COMING FROM THE REAR UNDERCARRIAGE WHILE DRIVING, AND CONTINUED REGARDLESS OF SPEED. THIS WAS A NEW SOUND, ONE THAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING WAS WRONG, LIKE THE TIRE WAS ABOUT TO FALL OFF THE CAR. THIS WAS SCARY ESPECIALLY SINCE A CAR WITH THIS FEW MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE ANYTHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH IT. THE MECHANICS CONFIRMED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, AND QUOTES ARE EACH AROUND $7,000.00! THIS KIND OF DEFECT SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE UNNOTICED BY LAND ROVER FOR SO LONG WITHOUT ISSUING A RECALL OR HAVING THE DEFECT ADDRESSED PRIOR TO FURTHER PRODUCTION OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY

If this is your car and a dealer keeps failing to fix it, your state's lemon law may require the manufacturer to replace it or buy it back. How many repair attempts it takes, and how long you have to file, is set by the state you bought in and by nothing on this page.

Where these numbers come from

A complaint is one owner's account and has not been verified by NHTSA or by us. A vehicle with more complaints is not necessarily worse: models that sold in larger numbers collect more of them. How this is counted.
