ANALYSISHow safe is the 2025 Land Rover Defender 90?
The 2025 Land Rover Defender 90 enters the federal safety record with the lightest possible footprint: zero recalls, zero complaint submissions, and a Clean burden band. A Clean band reflects the absence of recall campaigns and the absence of reported incidents in the NHTSA complaint database for this specific model year. Because this is a one-year-old vehicle, the complaint record is still early and may grow as the fleet accumulates miles. No tested sibling years for this model exist in the data we cover, so there is no adjacent crash-test result to reference as context. The Clean band is a snapshot of federal administrative activity, not a measure of crash protection.
