Questions to ask the seller
- Were recalls 26V599000 (electrical), 26V248000 (electrical) and 24V364000 (back over prevention) done? It has 8 recalls in all. Ask for the dealer printout, or check the VIN.
- NHTSA has an open investigation into front steering knuckle fractures. Has this car had that problem?
- Do all the lights, screens and power features work? Has the battery, alternator or any wiring been replaced?
- Is the airbag light off, and were any airbag recalls done?
- Any slipping, hard or late shifts, or a transmission warning light? Ask for transmission fluid service records.
- Land Rover sent dealers 602 repair notes for this car. Was this one done: “Customer complains about a creak, rattle or squeak noise from under the vehicle - Transmission…”?

How serious. Out of all 15 owner complaints filed so far (every year since it was sold, not just the first 3), owners reported:
“Average car” = what the same number of complaints would include at the rate across every model year we track. Owners report these themselves; NHTSA doesn't confirm the cause.
What owners complain about most. From owner complaints to the government.
Share of this year's owner complaints filed with NHTSA, not the share of cars that break. One complaint can name more than one area.

When owners reported problems. From owner complaints to the government.
Most owners who filed a complaint with NHTSA had 5K to 15K miles (8K to 24K km) on the car (9 of all 15 complaints filed so far listed the miles). This shows when people who had a problem reported it, not the odds that your car will have it.
In owners' words
Hill decent control error, stability control not available error, and charging system fault detected error while driving. As a result, no breaks while driving.

It measures complaints, not crash safety. A complaint is an owner's report, not a confirmed defect. How it works
