Electrical system complaints dominate what 2022 Range Rover Sport owners report, with the electrical and powertrain categories together accounting for the bulk of filed complaints. The most consistent pattern involves the DC/DC converter failing while the vehicle is in motion, owners describe a sequence where a charging system fault warning appears first, followed quickly by loss of power steering and then a complete electrical shutdown that leaves the vehicle unable to move. Several owners report this happening at highway speeds or in traffic, requiring a tow. On the engine side, a smaller cluster of complaints describes a continuously variable valve lift system gasket failure that prevents the vehicle from starting, with at least one owner noting the part was not available for repair at the time of filing. Parts availability for the DC/DC converter also comes up across multiple electrical complaints, with owners describing extended wait times while the vehicle sits out of service.

By System
The 2022 Land Rover Range Rover Sport has 8 recalls, the most serious involving two separate fire risks: on PHEV models, a failing water pump belt can cause the engine to overheat and leak coolant onto the turbocharger, and a blocked engine oil channel can cause an oil leak near ignition sources.
A third fire-risk concern applies only to mild-hybrid models, where a DC-to-DC converter fault can cause a loss of drive power. On the occupant safety side, two seatbelt recalls cover this vehicle: the front seatbelt retractors may deactivate early and fail to properly secure a child restraint seat, and the front seatbelt pretensioners may be damaged and unable to restrain occupants in a crash. Rear visibility is also affected, as water can get into the rearview camera and cause the image to go blank or display a distorted picture while reversing. Finally, on PHEV models, the vehicle may not produce adequate pedestrian warning sounds when stationary and in reverse, reducing awareness for people nearby.
