The 2010 LR2's complaint picture is dominated by powertrain issues, which account for roughly half of all reports filed for this model year. Owners most often describe rear differential failures, some requiring replacement more than once, along with engine leaks and general drivetrain breakdowns. A secondary cluster of electrical complaints centers on battery drain, owners report batteries going dead after just a few days without driving, sometimes repeatedly, even after swapping in new units. A single report mentions the airbag and seatbelt warning lights staying illuminated persistently, including with a passenger seated and buckled. The rear differential failures are the most prominent recurring mechanical theme, with owners describing the repair as both expensive and something that can come back after the original fix.

By System
The 2010 Land Rover LR2 has 4 recalls, all involving airbags that may fail to deploy in a crash, leaving the driver or front passenger without that protection.
Two of the recalls center on the driver's airbag: a component in the steering column's clock spring can become disconnected, disabling the driver's frontal airbag so it does not inflate during a collision. The other two recalls involve the passenger seat classification system, where the electronic control unit can shut down unexpectedly, partially or fully disabling the front passenger airbag and triggering a warning light on the dashboard.
