2024 Land Rover Defender 110

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 Defender 110.

Within the Defender's extensive 1993 to 2024 lineage, the 2024 Land Rover Defender 110 presents a notable shift in reliability metrics, logging just 21 owner complaints against the 2023 model year's peak of 75. However, researchers must weigh this reduction in overall issues against the vehicle's 6 active recalls and an electrical system that ranks as its primary complaint area. Ultimately, while this iteration sits well below the model's historical high-water mark for complaints and considerably above the 1994 low of a single issue, its unresolved electrical and recall concerns mean that proven dependability remains a work in progress.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 21,000 mi; spark plugs every 63,000 mi; coolant at 105,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 105,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2024 Land Rover Defender 110 generated 21 federal complaints, a sharp decrease from 75 in 2023 and 66 in 2022, while recalls settled back to 6 after reaching 9 in the prior year. Technical service bulletins declined across the same 2022-2024 span, falling from 456 to 394 and then to 222. This places the 2024 model at the low point of the recorded trend for both complaints and TSBs, though it does account for the only investigation in this period. Top complaint areas center on the electrical system and steering, with zero crash-related complaints and one fire complaint, but the data does not specify underlying causes. With complaint volume and service bulletins at their lowest levels in the recorded timeframe, the 2024 model represents the most settled point in the dataset and is the strongest year to buy among those listed.
