Complaints about the 2014 Range Rover spread across several systems, with no single category dominating heavily, but a few recurring mechanical themes stand out. Airbag and powertrain systems each drew the most complaints by volume, though the specifics underneath those categories vary. On the powertrain side, owners describe unexpected loss of power while driving, including incidents on highways where the vehicle failed to restart after stalling. Suspension is a notable concern across multiple reports: owners describe front suspension knuckles cracking or fracturing, in some cases causing a suspension arm to detach and rendering the vehicle undrivable. Parts availability appears to have complicated repairs in at least some of those cases. A smaller cluster of reports mentions warning lights illuminating without clear cause. One report describes a rusted-through fuel tank cover on a vehicle used on rough terrain, though that appears to be an isolated account rather than a pattern seen across multiple complaints.

By System
The 2014 Land Rover Range Rover has 11 recalls, the most serious being a brake vacuum hose that can wear through and cause complete loss of brake assist, significantly extending stopping distances, and a front suspension knuckle joint that can crack and allow a suspension arm to detach, causing sudden loss of steering control.
The door latch system carries its own cluster of concerns: the keyless latching mechanism can leave doors appearing closed but actually unlatched, and they may swing open while the vehicle is moving. Prior repair attempts on some vehicles did not fully resolve this issue, prompting a follow-up recall. On the occupant protection side, the airbag connector in the driver and front passenger seats can work loose, leaving those side airbags unable to deploy in a crash. There is also a separate issue where the front passenger airbag can be disabled during a collision, reducing protection for that occupant.
Two electrical and lighting recalls round out the list. The turn signal indicator may fail to flash or click at a double rate when a front turn signal malfunctions, leaving the driver unaware that other motorists are not seeing the turn signal.
