NHTSA records four recall campaigns for the 2019 Discovery, addressing issues in the electrical, lighting, battery, and engine systems. Owners have filed 38 complaints. This federal data provides a factual outline of the vehicle's post-sale safety record, but without crash-test results, its structural crash protection remains unrated by NHTSA.
