Owners have filed 22 complaints
about the 2010 Land Rover LR4 with NHTSA between 2010 and 2026.
The largest single group is the fuel & propulsion.
Across this model's run it ranks 2 of 7 worst.
The letter says how bad. This says what kind — whether this year drew
an unusual number of complaints, unusually dangerous
ones, or failures that arrived unusually early.
The dashed ring is 50 — the national norm. Further out is worse.
Complaint volume — 39
Against the median year of the Land Rover LR4. 50 means typical for this
model; 100 means roughly double.
Severity — 100
68.2% of these complaints
involved a crash, fire, injury or death, against a national rate of
9.7%.
Early failure — 85
50% of failures with a mileage on record happened under
36,000 miles, against a national rate of
29%.
Odometer readings owners gave when they filed. About half of all
complaints include one.

When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

NHTSA investigations into the 2010 Land Rover LR4
An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough
complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks
something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.

Fuel Tank Outlet Flange Leak
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened PE20-018 on November 5th, 2020, to investigate fuel leak allegations in vehicles equipped with fuel tank outlet flange Part Number AH229039AB. ODI based the investigation on six consumer complaints it had received and, using information gathered from RQ19-004, five field reports and 200 warranty claims in the subject vehicles. At the closing date of PE20-018, the number of related complaints received by ODI has risen to fifteen. In response to an ODI Information Request (IR) letter, Land Rover identified: 57 additional warranty claims (257 total...
Recalls on the 2010 Land Rover LR4
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.
Canada — Transport Canada
Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not
always mirror the American ones.
Recall 200924610 units in Canada
Fuel System
On certain vehicles, one of the two rollover valves fitted to the top of the fuel tank may have been installed incorrectly during vehicle assembly. This could result in illumination of the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), a fuel odour, or a fuel leak. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. Correction: All vehicles will be held at the port of entry where replacement fuel tanks will be fitted. No vehicles have been distributed to dealerships or owners.

Recall caused full engine failure which caused 75mph to abrupt stop on Highway. Violently shaking and leaked gas inside vehicle. I was confused because I had no collision and liberty mutual denied my claims, but I was hurt from a recall - dealer frequently recorded as fixed during a scam that caused me to lose my full savings and be stuck with a unfixed covered car. (Dealer tried to say they were helping me buy not charging $2500 and said they were sending my car to an impound.) causing me to pay $16k (full savings) towards 18k to clear the loan....the manager said I did not have a deal and that my impounded car would be $4k a month. (Way back confirms recall being fixed on records as I refused unsafe gas recall to be fixed. They sent the car back in pieces) I had to recover it from an abandoned nearby neighborhood and store it for years trying to get help - I am now 100% TBI and believe this gas leak and impact caused me injuries.

while driving at approximately 70 mph on the highway, I encountered a severe issue that jeopardized my safety and the safety of others on the road.The problem manifested as a fuel leak, resulting in fumes inside the vehicle that caused impairment to my ability to operate the vehicle safely. This impairment led to the vehicle entering a gated mode and initiating aggressive braking, almost causing a collision.This incident is deeply alarming, and I believe it poses a serious risk to the well-being of drivers and passengers. I am reaching out to request an immediate investigation into this matter and to seek information on any safety recalls or issues related to the fuel system of the 2010 Land Rover LR4. Fuel tank flange failure caused complex problems for engine replacement needed. Not covered by land rover and was not repaired as reported

I called the Jaguar Land Rover dealership located in Frisco, TX to schedule a maintenance appointment. Before asking what type of maintenance I needed the representative continued to tell me that my vehicle could not be serviced there. I asked why and was told they do not the tools to fix it due to it being a 2010 model. They also said I had 2 recalls but maybe I could try another service facility.

Following the recall repair had to go back to dealer twice ( 9/15/22 & 10/22/22) for the same issue of the fuel smell in the vehicle could be driving, parked, or idling the smell remains the smell is very overpowering kids and I are getting bad headaches/light-headed. For sure it isn't safe and don't believe the initial fix was the answer and there is more to the recall.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE PETROL FLANGE/FUEL FILTER DEVELOPED A CRACK IN THE TOP CAUSING FUEL TO SPRAY OUT THE TOP OF THE TANK WHEN THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. THE TANK IS UNDER THE VEHICLE NEXT TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, SO THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE. THERE WAS A STRONG FUEL SMELL AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE, BUT NO FUEL DRIPPING WHEN PARKED. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AN INTERNET SEARCH WHICH TURNED UP SEVERAL OTHER INSTANCES OF THE SAME PROBLEM INCLUDING A VIDEO ON YOUTUBE SHOWING THE SAME ISSUE. FURTHER RESEARCH REVEALED AN INVESTIGATION ON THE ISSUE: NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE20018. I REPLACED THE FILTER MYSELF AND WILL KEEP THE OLD ONE IN CASE IT IS NEEDED FOR THE INVESTIGATION.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE WAS LEAKING FUEL. I COULD ALWAYS SMELL GAS BUT COULD SEE NOTHING DRIPPING. WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE JUST DIED. THE GAS MONITOR SAID I HAD 50 MILES TO GO BEFORE NEEDING FUEL. I GOT IT TOWED IN AND WAS TOLD THE FUEL PUMP WAS LEAKING. THIS WAS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I HAD NO WARNING AND WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OF 70MPH WHEN IT JUST DIED ON A BRIDGE. THEY TOW COST ME ALMOST $300 TO GET IT TO SHOP. THE NEXT DAY THEY TOLD ME THE GOOD NEWS IS I JUST RAN OUT OF GAS, AND THE BAD NEWS IS I HAVE A LEAK AROUND FUEL PUMP WHICH CAUSED IT TO GIVE A FALSE READING OF HOW MUCH FUEL I REALLY HAD. AS STRONG AS THE FUMES WERE IT'S A WONDER IT NEVER CAUGHT FIRE. THIS COST OVER $800 TO FIX. THE OTHER PROBLEM I HAD IS WHEN THE FUEL INJECTORS FAILED, AND I NEEDED A TOW TRUCK AGAIN. THE CAR GAVE A WARNING SAYING 'RESTRICTED PERFORMANCE' THE FAILURE OF THE FUEL INJECTORS CAUSED GAS TO LEAK AS WELL, AND THE SHOP HAD TO OPEN ALL IT DOORS AND WINDOWS. THIS TIME THE LEAKING FUEL WAS VISIBLE. THIS COST ME OVER $2600 TO FIX. THIS WAS ALL WITHIN 90 DAYS OF EACH OTHER.
