2009 Land Rover Range Rover

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2009 Range Rover.

Body SUV

The 2009 Land Rover Range Rover is a full‑size SUV that requires 8.0 quarts of 5W‑30 engine oil to keep its powerplant lubricated. With only 14 owner‑reported complaints for the model year—most of them concerning the air‑bag system—and five recalls on record, it stands in stark contrast to the worst year in the line’s history, 2003, which logged 127 complaints. Even when measured against the low‑point of 1992’s six complaints, the 2009 figure shows a modest but notable improvement in reliability. Consequently, this model year occupies a favorable position in the Range Rover’s long‑term complaint trend, suggesting a period of greater dependability for the vehicle.

Reliability & federal safety record

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

In 2009 the vehicle generated 14 complaints, 5 recalls, 0 investigations, and 172 TSBs. Compared with 2008 (44 complaints, 4 recalls, 169 TSBs) and 2010 (59 complaints, 7 recalls, 401 TSBs), the 2009 model shows a modest decrease in complaints and recalls relative to the following year but remains comparable to the prior year. The target year’s top complaint areas are Air Bags and Power Train, each accounting for 3 of the reported issues, while crash and fire complaints are zero. Overall, the 2009 model falls within a relatively low‑complaint phase of the generation, though its TSB count is moderate. Therefore, from a federal record standpoint, the 2009 model does not exhibit a statistically higher defect burden than its immediate predecessors, making it a reasonable, though not exceptional, choice for a used purchase.
