Summary
The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque has 19 recalls spanning 2014 through 2025, with the most serious recent issue being a passenger airbag on 2020-2025 models that can tear during deployment, failing to cushion an occupant and allowing hot gases to escape that can cause burns.
The 2020 model year carries the heaviest concentration of recalls. On the electrical side, 2020 mild-hybrid (MHEV) variants have a 48-volt system that can overload and short-circuit the DC-DC converter, raising the risk of a fire. Several 2020 recalls involve safety systems that protect occupants in a crash: a metal plate bonded to the headliner can detach in very cold conditions and strike occupants when side curtain airbags deploy, and some 2020 vehicles were built with headliners missing that plate entirely, reducing head protection. The knee airbags on 2020 models have their own issues, with covers on both the left and right lower knee airbag modules able to come loose and let the cushion unfold out of position, preventing proper deployment. The airbag warning light on 2020 vehicles can also malfunction and illuminate falsely, masking a real airbag fault. There are also two tire pressure monitoring system issues on 2020 models: non-PHEV vehicles with 18-inch wheels may have incorrect pressure thresholds set in the instrument cluster, and the speedometer on 2020 vehicles can randomly switch between MPH and KPH, which can lead to unintended speeding. The windshield washer fuse on 2020 models can fail and eliminate the ability to clean the windshield. Second-row outer seatbelts on 2020 vehicles fitted with certain replacement assemblies may not function properly in a crash. Front seats trimmed with Dinamica cloth on 2020 models can burn faster than regulations allow in a fire.
On 2023 models, water can seep into the rearview camera and cause the image to stop displaying or appear distorted, and the center console touchscreen can go blank at startup on 2023 vehicles, also preventing the rearview camera from displaying.
Going back to 2016-2017 production, front lower control arm fasteners can fail and allow the steering knuckle to separate, affecting handling and raising crash risk. The 2018 convertible with 20-inch wheels has a tire pressure monitoring system that may not alert the driver when tire pressure drops 25 percent below recommended levels, which can lead to tread separation. On 2014-2015 models, an automatic transmission can unexpectedly shift into neutral while driving. A narrow group of 2014 vehicles built in late November and early December 2013 have rear suspension link arm bolts that can fail and allow the arm to separate from the vehicle entirely, causing a sudden loss of control.
