Owners have filed 67 complaints
about the 2014 Land Rover Range Rover with NHTSA between 2013 and 2026.
The largest single group is the electrical system.
Across this model's run it ranks 4 of 29 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 — 78
Against the median year of the Land Rover Range Rover. 50 means typical for this
model; 100 means roughly double.
Severity — 39
7.5% of these complaints
involved a crash, fire, injury or death, against a national rate of
9.7%.
Early failure — 99
58% of failures with a mileage on record happened under
36,000 miles, against a national rate of
29%.

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 2014 Land Rover Range Rover
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.
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) is upgrading its Preliminary Evaluation (PE25006) of front steering knuckle fractures on model year (MY) 2014 through 2017 Range Rover Sport vehicles to an Engineering Analysis. ODI opened PE25006 on June 27, 2025, after receiving 12 Vehicle Owner's Questionnaire (VOQ) reports of the front aluminum steering knuckles fracturing in these vehicles. The reports describe the fractures occurring at the joint where the steering knuckle attaches to the upper control arm ball joint in one or both steering knuckles. Fracture of the front suspension knuckle can...
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants.

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain model year 2014 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport and 2013-2014 LR4 vehicles manufactured September 16, 2013, to June 30, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) may fail to learn the locations of the individual sensors while the vehicle is being driven. As a result, the low tire pressure warning light will illuminate, despite the the tire pressures being within specification. Should one of the tires subsequently lose air pressure, the driver would not be notified of the change in air pressure.
Risk: If the TPMS light illuminates because the sensors cannot be located, it could mask an actual low tire pressure condition, possibly resulting in tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

Recall 20250276,119 units in Canada
Structure
Issue: On certain vehicles, the doors may not latch properly when they are closed. As a result, the doors could open while driving. Safety Risk: A door that opens suddenly while driving could create the risk of injury and/or increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Land Rover will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the unilatch keyless vehicle (KV) software.
Recall 2022668987 units in Canada
Suspension
Issue: On certain vehicles, the front suspension knuckles could crack and/or break. A front knuckle that breaks while driving could cause a sudden loss of vehicle control. Safety Risk: A loss of vehicle control could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Land Rover will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the front suspension knuckles. If the batch code stamped on the knuckle is within the affected range, and it isn't cracked, the dealership will install a retaining bracket. If cracks are found, the dealership will replace the knuckle(s).
Recall 20152596,120 units in Canada
Structure
On certain vehicles, if doors fail to latch properly in the primary or secondary closed position, there would be no indication provided to vehicle occupants of the unlatched door condition. This could result in a door opening while the vehicle is in motion, which could increase the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant seated next to the door, or result in damage to property. Correction: Dealers will update the vehicle software.
Recall 20150775,839 units in Canada
Airbag
Certain vehicles may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 208 - Occupant Protection. The passenger seat occupant classification system (OCS) may have been calibrated incorrectly during the manufacturing process.

Correction: Dealers will reprogram the occupant classification system (OCS).
Recall 20150282,535 units in Canada
Brakes
On certain vehicles, the brake vacuum hose may not have been routed properly and could rupture, causing a loss of vacuum assistance in the braking system.

We first received notice of the recall on December 18, 2024. The front right suspension knuckle joint was making a clicking noise for several weeks and has now cracked and detached the suspension arm on the front right wheel. Thus making my car completely unsafe to drive. The manufacturer gave me an unclear answers for an extended period of time. They have now confirmed that the part is on back order and unavailable to order and they don’t know when it will be available to order. At this point, I don’t feel safe driving my car. I need the manufacturer, Land Rover, to either buy back my vehicle or to give me a rental or loaner car for the foreseeable future, until they are able to repair my car or replace my car altogether. I live in Woodland Hills, CA and there are two dealerships in close proximity which are available to provide a solution for me. I am a mother and I have three small children. This is our family’s primary car for daily transportation for my children to and from school and all activities. It is imperative that this is addressed immediately.

The front suspension knuckle has developed a significant crack at the top where a ball joint attaches. This crack will result in a catastrophic failure of the knuckle as has been experienced by many owners of this type of vehicle. (see [XXX] ). This has resulted in serious accidents even at low speed. I found this issue on my vehicle during a routine check before a road trip. the crack is such that this will fail at any moment. I am entering this case BEFORE i have a serious accident, and will have to get the vehicle repaired at my cost given that the manufacturer will not recognize this issue.

MY DOOR LOCKS ARE FAILING AND LAND ROVER / RANGE ROVER IS TELLING ME IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR PRIOR INVESTIGATION, RECALL OR OTHER. FIRST, I COULDN'T GET MY PASSENGER DOOR TO LOCK, THEN IT SUDDENLY STARTED WORKING AGAIN. NOW, I CAN'T GET MY DRIVER SIDE TO LOCK, AND MY PASSENGER IS FINE. LAND ROVER CLAIMS THEY ALREADY UPDATED MY "SOFTWARE" BUT I THINK IT'S SOMETHING MUCH MORE DETAILED THAN THAT, AS THERE ARE LITERALLY 1000'S OF PEOPLE ASKING ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. NOT SURE IF THIS WILL RESULT IN MY DOORS FLYING OPEN SUDDENLY, AS HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED IN PRIOR CASES WITH NHTSA FOR MY YEAR RANGE ROVER - BUT I TRULY FEEL AS IF THEY KNOW ABOUT A PROBLEM WITH THEIR DOOR ACTUATORS, SOFTWARE AND LOCKS BUT ARE UNWILLING TO FIX THEM IN THEIR DEALERSHIP UNDER RECALL OR WARRANTY. SEVERAL DEALERS HAVE NOTED FOR MY VIN, THEY'VE DEVELOPED NEW ACTUATORS BECAUSE OF FLAWS IN PREVIOUS VERSIONS AND WANT ME TO SPEND UPWARDS OF $2K TO HAVE REPLACEMENTS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE THE 2014 RANGE ROVER WITH THE V6 SUPERCHARGED GAS ENGINE. DURING A ROLLING START, SUCH AS ROLLING START TO PERFORM A U-TURN OR MERGING INTO A HIGHWAY, THE ACCELERATION IS DELAYED BY AT LEAST 2 SECONDS, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. ESPECIALLY DURING MERGING ON TO THE FREEWAY THE 2 SECONDS ACCELERATION LAG COULD SEND FALSE INFORMATION TO THE OTHER CARS AND MADE ME ALMOST CRASH FOR A FEW TIMES. IT SHOULD BE A TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE UPDATE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.
