NHTSA lists 2 safety recalls and 21 owner complaints for the 2010 Land Rover LR2. Most complaints involve power train (10) and electrical system (3). The EPA rates it 17 mpg combined.
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain model year 2010-2015 LR2 and 2012-2013 Range Rover Evoque vehicles. A component within the Occupant Classification System (OCS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may fail, resulting in the front seat passenger air bag being totally or partially disabled.
LAND ROVER IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010-2011 LR2 VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM NOVEMBER 12, 2009, THROUGH AUGUST 23, 2010. THE SHORTING BAR IN THE CLOCK SPRING MAY BECOME DISCONNECTED WHEN THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG MODULE CONNECTOR IS INSTALLED.
Complaints are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and are not normalized for sales volume. One complaint can cite several components.
“REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. STRONG NOISE COMES FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL WHICH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ENTIRELY. HIGHLY DISTRACTIVE WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED MORE THAN 30 MPH.”
“THIS VEHICLE HAS TERRIBLE BATTERY ISSUES. THE BATTERY WILL NEVER STAY CHARGED FOR MORE THAN 2 DAYS WITHOUT DRIVING IT. THE BATTERY DIES REGULARLY AND HAS LEFT MY FAMILY AND I STRANDED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY 6 TIMES IN 3 YEARS. EACH TIME I PURCHASE A HIGH END BATTERY TO TRY TO MITIGATE THE PROBLEM, BUT IT PERSISTS. THE BATTERY STARTS OUT GREAT, BUT OVER TIME IS WORN FURTHER AND FURTHER DOWN. THIS IS AN IN GOING ISSUE WITH MANY, MANY PEOPLE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN RESOLVED. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED. THIS THE CAR MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER USE, WHAT IF THEY ARE STRANDED SOMEWHERE UNSAFE BECAUSE THIS BATTERY AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS INSUFFICIENT? LAND ROVER HAS SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT TURNS INTO SOMETHING BIGGER. PLEASE REFERENCE THE LENGTHY CONSUMER COMPLAINTS HERE: HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T36280_DS630765 PLEASE HELP US FIX THIS ISSUE.”
“I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE 2010 LR2 FROM A USED DEALERSHIP AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND SEAT BELT LIGHT ARE ON. THE SEAT BELT WORKS JUST FINE, BUT THE LIGHT STAYS ON (EVEN WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE CAR AND HAS THEIR SEAT BELT FASTENED). I SAW THAT THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL ON LR2'S FOR MY YEAR ABOUT THE AIRBAGS AND I AM WORRIED THAT THEY WON'T FUNCTION IF I GET INTO A WRECK BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS ON.”
