Steering and suspension dominate the complaint picture for the 2015 Range Rover. Owners most frequently report front-end issues, knocking or clunking noises during acceleration or turns, often paired with noticeable vibration that tends to worsen over time. Suspension complaints follow a similar pattern, with owners describing ride height irregularities and abnormal handling behavior consistent with air suspension faults. Powertrain reports are fewer but present, with some owners noting driveline noise or hesitation. A smaller number of complaints mention fuel system concerns, specifically corrosion affecting the tank support hardware leading to questions about tank stability. The steering complaints are the clearest recurring theme, with multiple owners describing front-end noise and vibration that appeared gradually and persisted without triggering warning lights.

By System
The 2015 Land Rover Range Rover has 12 recalls, the most serious involving wheel nuts that can crack and detach from the hub and front suspension knuckles that can break while driving, either of which can cause sudden loss of vehicle control.
Both the wheel nut and suspension knuckle issues have required multiple repair attempts, as earlier fixes did not fully resolve the problems for all affected vehicles. On the suspension side, a cracked upper knuckle joint can allow the front suspension arm to separate from the vehicle entirely, leaving the driver unable to steer or control the car.
Three separate recalls cover door latches: the keyless latching system can leave doors appearing closed but actually unlatched, and doors can also unlatch unexpectedly while driving, risking occupants being thrown from the vehicle if not belted. One of those door latch repairs was also found to be incomplete and required a follow-up fix. The front passenger airbag can be incorrectly disabled in a crash, reducing protection for that occupant. Two recalls address the second-row seat back, which can fail to latch properly, meaning the seatbelt may not hold the occupant in a crash.
