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 Land Rover LR2 generation demonstrates a clear improvement in reliability over time, with total complaints dropping from a high of 85 in 2008 to just 6 in 2015. The 2015 model year sits at the bottom of this downward arc, matching the 2012 low for complaints and showing significantly fewer TSBs (124) than the 2013 peak of 286. While the record for 2015 includes single complaints regarding the engine, suspension, and fuel/propulsion systems, the data does not specify the root causes of these incidents. Additionally, the 2015 model reported zero crash or fire complaints and maintained a stable recall count of one. Because it represents the most stable point of the generation's federal record, this is a good year to buy.
