ANALYSISHow safe is the 2025 Land Rover Discovery Sport?
For the 2025 Discovery Sport, a single recall defines its federal safety record thus far. This recall addresses a critical safety function: the gear position indicator for the automatic transmission. An inaccurate indicator can prevent a driver from confirming the engaged gear, posing a clear risk. Owners of affected vehicles should consult Land Rover and use the NHTSA VIN lookup tool to verify whether the recall remedy has been performed. Beyond this, the 2025 Discovery Sport has generated zero owner complaints with federal regulators. While this figure is notable for a model year available for approximately one year, a low complaint volume on a newer vehicle can be influenced by limited time in service. There are no adjacent model years with published crash-test data for comparison. The vehicle's overall safety burden is categorized as "Light" based on its recall and complaint volume, a metric distinct from crash-test performance.
