Land Rover Range Rover

The Range Rover is a luxury 4x4 launched in 1970 and now in its fifth generation (L460) since 2022. CarWhere names 2015 to 2018, 2020 and 2023 as years to avoid, driven by fuel issues, while The Weekly Driver says the L460's V8 is acceptable from 2024 on the BMW S68-derived engine but not on the 2023's earlier N63-derived unit, which generated 20 complaints in a single year. Federal data shows the 2016 with the most recalls (13).

What the Range Rover is and who buys it

Wikipedia (opens in a new tab) describes the Range Rover as a 4x4 luxury marque and sub-brand of Jaguar Land Rover, launched in 1970 by British Leyland and in its fifth generation since 2022. The 2026 Range Rover is offered with a 2.0L four-cylinder, a 3.0L six-cylinder mild hybrid or a 4.4L V8 mild hybrid, four-wheel or all-wheel drive, rated 18 to 23 mpg combined by the EPA, about $3,350 to $4,300 a year in fuel. Kelley Blue Book base prices run from $115,450 for the P400 SE to $176,950 for the P530 Autobiography.

Best and worst Range Rover model years

Federal counts show the 2016 with 13 recalls, the most of any year, the 2015 and 2017 with 8 each, and the 2022 to 2024 with 8, 9 and 8 recalls. The 2023 Range Rover has 21 complaints and the 2024 has 10, and the 2025 and 2026 drop to 3 recalls each.

CarWhere (opens in a new tab) says the years to avoid are 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2023, the worst logged up to 2.6 times the model's median severity-weighted complaint rate, driven by fuel issues. The Weekly Driver (opens in a new tab) says the V8 is acceptable on 2024-and-later model years, which use a BMW S68-derived unit, but not on the 2023, which uses the earlier N63-derived unit that generated 20 complaints in a single year, and that the L460 (2023 to 2025) has generated 59 complaints total across three model years, a per-year rate roughly one-quarter of what the previous L405 chassis produced at the equivalent point in its life. VinSpectorAI (opens in a new tab) names the 2017 the worst year by complaints, at 801.

Choosing a year

On engine choice alone, a 2024 or later V8 avoids the N63-derived unit's 2023 problems, and the L460 generation overall runs at a lower complaint rate than the L405 it replaced. Check the VIN for open campaigns on any 2015 to 2018 or 2020 car, which CarWhere flags for fuel-related issues.

Method: recall counts and their affected components come from the NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation: Recalls API, queried by exact make, model and model year. Complaint counts come from the NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation: Complaints API, same query pattern. Data pulled 2026-09-04.

Known gap: the NHTSA complaints API did not return data for Land Rover Range Rover model years 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2025 when queried for this page: the request itself failed upstream, not returning a genuine zero. Those years are marked "not available" above instead of shown as clean; recall counts for those years are unaffected and come from the separate recalls API, which returned data for every year listed.

Check open recalls by VIN for one particular vehicle.

Q01Is there a best year to buy a Land Rover Range Rover?

Recall count alone can't answer that: it says nothing about a specific vehicle's price, mileage, accident history or maintenance record. What federal data can say: 2016 carried more. See the model-year table on this page for the exact counts and what they cover.

Q02Which Land Rover Range Rover model years should I watch for recalls?

The 2016 Land Rover Range Rover has 13 federal recalls on file, most commonly affecting door latches, seat belts, steering. Always confirm the open/completed status of every campaign for the specific VIN: a recall on this list may already be repaired on the vehicle in front of you.

Q03What are common recall-related problems on the Land Rover Range Rover by model year?

2026: structure, seat belts, airbags. 2025: seat belts, structure, airbags. 2024: engine cooling, structure, powertrain, backup camera. 2023: engine cooling, engine, seats, door latches. 2022: backup camera, seats, engine cooling, door latches. 2021: seat belts, engine cooling, backup camera, electrical system.

Q04Why do some Land Rover Range Rover model years show "not available" for complaints?

The NHTSA complaints API did not return data for Land Rover Range Rover model years 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2025 when queried for this page: the request itself failed upstream instead of the count genuinely being zero. Recall counts for those years are unaffected; they come from a separate NHTSA endpoint that returned data for every year listed.
