ANALYSISHow safe is the 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Sport?
The 2020 Range Rover Sport's recall record is notably broad in scope, touching the propulsion electrical system, two distinct camera-based back-over-prevention systems, engine lubrication, and lighting control software. This spread across multiple safety-relevant systems defines the model year's regulatory history. Seven recall campaigns and 40 owner complaints place this vehicle in the Moderate recall and complaint burden band. On the complaint side, concentrations in the Electrical System and Engine categories align with two of the recall themes. The five Service Brake allegations, however, stand apart from any current recall campaign. No tested sibling years are available for direct comparison within the data.
