The 2020LAND ROVERRANGE ROVER carries 20 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 5 crashes, 2 fires, 3 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.

Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2020 RANGE ROVER is power train with 6 filings, followed by service brakes (3) and electrical system (3). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 3 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle, the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.

NHTSA currently has 2 investigation files overlapping the 2020 RANGE ROVER. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page, a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

20250602CrashUNKNOWN OR OTHER

On May 25th, 2025 around noon, I was backing up my Range Rover out of the garage to go and buy some items, after I exited the garage I felt that the car had bumped an item in the back, I did not see anything on the back view camera because sometimes it is slow to load up and also I did not hear any warning noises from the rear sensors, I moved the car forward trying to avoid further bump and to my knowledge I put the rotary gear selector in parking mode and got out of the car, at that point the car started moving backward, and I got stuck between the open door and the backward moving car, I tried to put my hand on the break to stop the car and I manage to stop the car at the time when the car hit a bench under the tree, and I got pinned between the open door and the bench that was stopped by the tree. I had a major trauma to the right side of my body, I was rushed to the nearest hospital, when it was decided that I need to be transported to a larger facility via ambulance. Radiology t

There is a current recall from January of last year that is affecting surround view cameras not currently working. My vehicle is experiencing the same issue but is not showing listed in the recall. Due to cameras not working it puts my safety and other at risk as I am not able to see when backing up or the surrounding areas especially when towing. A dealership may be looking into it soon as this issue just began. No other warning the cameras just don’t turn or are blurry, fuzzy and flicker. This includes all cameras. Front sides and rear.

20240712SERVICE BRAKES

In June 2023, I started my car and I got 2 error messages "Hill Descent Control not available" and "OK to drive with caution stability control not available", then when pressing the brake, it was very difficult to press the brake and stop the car. I took to the dealer and they replaced the secondary auxillary battery. In July 2024, I started my car and received the same 2 error messages and had trouble using my brakes again (same issue as in 2023). My car is again at the dealer, and I am told that the secondary auxiliary battery has failed again, and they can't figure out why. This seems to be a serious and dangerous situation, and I read online that there have been other complaints from other owners. My 4-year/50k mile warranty expires in October 2024, and I would like Land Rover to cover any future issues (at the very least) following the warranty period since this seems to be a recurring issue.

Stopped on main road to perform a left turn, car stopped during the turn and then lurched forward. The car then became inoperable and would not go into gear. Gear selector was not available and car kept cutting out. I could not move the vehicle out of traffic and I had to sit in moving traffic with my hazard lights flashing. Husband came and sat in the car, waited 15 mins, started the car and overruled the car allowing him to move the car off the road and out of moving traffic.

The 2020 Range Rover, under warranty with 33,200 miles, has been inspected by the insurance and determined to be a total loss due to an electrical failure that caused the SUV to catch fire.

The risk of serious bodily injury or death to a 4 year old and a female adult passenger was imminent.

20230112ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

A recall was repaired on the vehicle in July 2022. Within 48 hours of repair, a high voltage warning appeared on the vehicle. The vehicle was taken in for service however the service department at Land Rover Tampa refused to check the warning because the light was not on at the time the vehicle arrived at the dealership. Approximately 2 weeks later, the low battery warning appeared on the vehicle and every electrical function of the vehicle began to shut down within 15 minutes of the warning. The vehicle was completely disabled and couldn't even have a battery jump or replacement. AAA was called and after inspection, AAA refused to sell a new battery because the diagnostics determined that the alternator needed to be replaced. The vehicle had to be towed twice before arriving to the retailer. The retailer initially attempted the repair the issue and disregarded the diagnostic from AAA by replacing the batteries however it it did not work. The retailer attempted to repair the issue 4 mo

20230108SERVICE BRAKES

On December 17, 2022 I got back in my car from an earlier outing and had no brakes whatsoever. There was no warning, only a warning light afterwards that read something along the lines of "*** brake problem. Still safe to drive." The car is under warranty so I had it towed to Tacoma Land Rover. The brake situation was so dire that I sealed the key in an envelope, warning people there were no brakes. Long story but they determined that the brake failure was caused by a "dead auxiliary battery." I believe they said they replaced the battery but they might have recharged it since I wasn't asked to pay for a new one. If this had happened on the highway, I and others could have easily died. I'm afraid my safety is still at risk because there simply was no warning. I was fortunate that I was downtown late in the evening so there weren't many cars or pedestrians. I don't know if Land Rover had anyone inspect anything. There is no mention of it in the paperwork. I have asked the
