72Land Rover year and model combinations have enough on file to be worth a page here, and between them their owners have filed 2,219 safety complaints with NHTSA. More of those name the engine than any other system: 461 of them. The single most complained-about is the 2023 Defender, with 78.

NHTSA holds 152 recall campaigns naming Land Rover vehicles, across every model year the agency records rather than only the ones shown here. 3 defect investigations into these vehicles are open and unresolved. A death has been reported in 3 of these 72 vehicles.

Most complained-about Land Rover models

Complaints for every published model year of each model added together. A model that sold in larger numbers collects more complaints, and nothing here divides by sales because NHTSA does not publish them.

What goes wrong on a Land Rover

The systems named most often across every Land Rover complaint on file. One complaint can name more than one system, so these add up to more than the complaint total. "Unknown or other" is excluded: it is what the intake form records when an owner cannot place the failure.

Open investigations (3)

NHTSA has decided a pattern is worth examining and has not closed the file. A preliminary evaluation is often closed with no action; an engineering analysis is the stage that usually precedes a recall.
