How long a defect stays unadmitted

Campaign numbers encode the year they were announced, so we can measure how quickly Land Rover acts once a defect exists.

Across all brands the average is 3.79 years. Faster is better, but a low figure can also mean a young line-up — read it next to the number of campaigns.

Land Rover recalls by model

11 Land Rover models have campaigns on record. The gap between them is wider than the brand average suggests: on the LR3 a defect is admitted in 1.2 years, on the LR4 it takes 4.1 — the same company, the same paperwork, 2.9 years of difference.

Check your own car

Land Rover has 137 campaigns on record across 11 models, but none of them covers a whole model — only a production range inside it, sometimes a few weeks of assembly. So the 137 figure says nothing about any particular Land Rover: decoding the VIN narrows those 137 down to the recalls for one model and year. Whether the free fix was already carried out on that exact car, NHTSA's own VIN lookup or any Land Rover dealer can tell you.

Frequently asked questions

How many recalls does Land Rover have?

137 campaigns across 11 models. On its own the number reflects how many models a brand sells — the response time says more.

Is Land Rover slow to admit defects?

On average a Land Rover defect is admitted 2.74 years after the car was built, against about 3.79 years across all brands. 23.4% of campaigns come five years or later.

Does a recall mean the car is unsafe?

It means a specific fault was found in a specific production range and must be fixed free of charge. A brand with many campaigns is not automatically worse — sometimes it simply reports faster.

How do I check my own Land Rover?

By VIN. Campaigns cover production ranges, so the model alone does not tell you whether your car is affected.
