70 recalls across 18 model years
The Land Rover Range Rover Sport has 70 recalls spanning 2006 through 2026, with the most serious recent issue being a 2024 model year defect where improperly bonded body panels reduce the vehicle's structural strength, leaving occupants with less protection in a crash.
On the most current years, 2025 and 2026 models have a second-row center seat belt buckle that can fail to latch, leaving that occupant unrestrained in a crash. The 2026 model also has a seat belt warning chime that may not sound when occupants are unbuckled. The panoramic sunroof side trim on 2023-2026 vehicles can detach and become a road hazard. The 2024 model year also has an oil filter housing that can crack and leak oil onto hot engine components, raising fire risk, and a transmission that can drop into neutral and cut drive power without warning.
The 2019-2024 mild-hybrid models have a DC/DC converter that can fail, cutting power to the drive wheels and potentially turning off exterior lights while moving. On 2019-2022 plug-in hybrid models, the water pump drive belt can detach, overheat the engine, and rupture a coolant line that drips onto the turbocharger heat shield, creating a fire risk. The 2019-2023 model years have an engine oil channel that can become blocked and leak oil onto hot components. The 2017 diesel models have a software fault that causes the fuel gauge to read falsely low and can trigger the engine management system to shut the engine off entirely.
The 2016-2017 model years have front seat belt pretensioners that may not fire in a crash, and the driver's seat belt emergency locking retractor on those same years may not lock during hard braking. The 2016 model year has a passenger frontal airbag inflator that can fail to ignite, leaving the front passenger without airbag protection. Doors on 2014-2016 vehicles can appear closed but remain unlatched and swing open while driving; prior repair attempts on some of these vehicles did not fully resolve the problem and required a second round of fixes. The 2014-2017 front suspension upper knuckle joint can crack and allow the suspension arm to detach, causing sudden loss of handling.
Going further back, 2018 models have a rearview camera that can fail to display when reversing, and the automatic emergency braking system on 2018 vehicles can disable itself without alerting the driver. The 2014-2015 brake vacuum hose can wear through and cause a complete loss of brake assist, significantly lengthening stopping distances. The 2010-2013 fuel outlet flange on the fuel tank can crack and leak fuel near ignition sources. The 2010-2011 rear spoiler upper cover can detach at speed and become a road hazard. The 2006 model year has a left front brake hose that can snag on a wheel balance weight during full steering lock, potentially cutting one of the two hydraulic braking circuits.
