Fuel economy data from fueleconomy.gov (EPA / U.S. Dept. of Energy). Annual cost based on 15,000 mi/yr at 55% city driving and current fuel prices. MPG is U.S. gallons; L/100km converted.
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 both the driver and front passenger without protection when they need it most.
Two of the recalls center on the passenger seat's occupant classification system, where a component in the sensor control unit can shut down unexpectedly. When that happens, the system stops reading whether the front passenger seat is occupied, and the passenger airbag can be partially or fully disabled without the driver knowing. The airbag warning light may illuminate, but the underlying problem is that the bag may not fire in a crash. The other two recalls affect the driver's airbag through a component called the clockspring, a coiled electrical connector inside the steering column that allows the airbag circuit to stay connected as the wheel turns. In one case, a contact inside the clockspring can disconnect when the airbag module is plugged in during assembly, cutting power to the driver's airbag entirely. In the other, a manufacturing defect in the clockspring itself can disable the driver's airbag in the same way. Both faults mean the driver's frontal airbag may not fire at all in a collision.
