Land Rover Discovery Recalls (2017-2024)
The Land Rover Discovery has been the subject of 14 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2017 to 2024 model years. They cluster mostly around the electrical system, engine and engine cooling, and seat belts.
The Land Rover Discovery scores 85 out of 100 (grade A), one of the cleaner recall records among the vehicles we track. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 57% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 29% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 14 campaigns span 8 model years of the Land Rover Discovery. The single largest affected 170,169 vehicles, over electrical system. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common Discovery problems owners report.
The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the Land Rover Discovery may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.
