Land Rover Discovery Sport Recalls (2015-2025)
The Land Rover Discovery Sport has been the subject of 14 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2015 to 2025 model years. They cluster mostly around the electrical system, seat belts, and power train.
The Land Rover Discovery Sport scores 26 out of 100 (grade D), a busier recall record than most. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 79% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 36% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 14 campaigns span 10 model years of the Land Rover Discovery Sport. The single largest affected 3,048 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 Sport 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 Sport 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.
