Within that volume, owners reported 11 crashes, 5 fires, 4 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 2015 RANGE ROVER EVOQUE is engine with 22 filings, followed by power train (17) and electrical system (10). 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 1 active recall campaign, 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 2015 RANGE ROVER EVOQUE. 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.

The vehicle unexpectedly shifts into neutral. I purchased the vehicle in 2023 at a used car dealership. I mentioned that this was happening to the salesmen roughly 1-2 months after I purchased the vehicle when it first happened I asked him if there were any recalls or any repairs done that I should know about. I was told there were no recalls and no repairs done on the truck. I was told to take it to a dealer to have it check. I called the dealer and mentioned that I saw a recall for this same issue from 2016. I was told there wasnât a recall on the vin #. The truck is not safe to drive. Iâm afraid I will cause a serious accident with the truck unexpectedly shifting into neutral.
The contact owns a 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle suddenly lost motive power after shifting into neutral, as indicated by the gear shift indicator light. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V614000 (Power Train), but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 115,000.

My window is constantly leaking water. I am not the original owner. I went to get the window repaired and the shops say itâs a recall. I never knew it was one. I now have a problem with wiring and I believe that the leaks have lead to this!

I am reporting a critical and systemic defect affecting Land Rover vehicles equipped with the 2.0L GTDi turbo petrol engine (240 hp), including my 2015 Evoque, My engine suffered catastrophic failure at ~118,000 miles while driving caused by a premature timing chain or tensioner failure. Pistons & valves collides, cams clashed and wouldn't rotate, loss of compression and dangerously instantaneous loss of power/speed/control without warning. The damage required full engine replacement. This significantly increases the risk of crashes & deaths especially at high speeds, traffic congestion, windy roads or hills, night time driving, poor weather conditions. Without warning the driver is helpless without power or ability to move to safety and rear end collision or loss of control is highly likely. Land Roverâs Passport to Service for the 2015 model year does not include timing chain inspection or replacement at any intervalânot at 60k, 90k, or even 120k miles. The chain is treated as

At low speed, pulled out of parking spot into [XXX] and the steering completely failed. Could not move the steering wheel at all. My service person is replacing the complete steering rack ($6500). There are many reports of this on a UK site and report that Land Rover has been paying for the repair. Definitely a safety issue.

The contact owns a 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the transmission inadvertently shifted from the drive(D) to neutral(N) and the vehicle lost motive power. A bystander helped shift the transmission into park(P) and then into drive(D). The contact was able to drive to the residence. The vehicle failed to restart while at the residence. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was determined that the variable valve timing (VVT) solenoid needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 155,000.
Mileage: 155,000

1. The EPAS system detached from the steering rack (caused by the three bolts that attach the EPAS to the steering rack being fractured and corroded due to saltwater ingress (inter crystalline corrosion) causing a loss of steering control. 2. This caused loss of steering control and presented a potentially catastrophic driving condition. 3. The problem has been confirmed by a JLR dealer. 4. This problem has been recognized by Canadian authorities who issued a recall (Transport Canada Recall #2018-180). Further, in the UK, the UK Government DVSA secured and agreement from JLR tp "fix upon failure" which may have been changed to a general recall. Lastly, BMW of North America issued a letter in September, 2018 proactively recalling all cars possibly affected by this issue to be inspected by their service departments and corrective action taken free of charge. 5. There were no warning lamps, messages or symptoms prior to failure.

My trunk door will open up on its own. I will come outside in the morning and my trunk will be open,or as we are getting in our getting out of the vehicle the trunk door will come up all by itself. I have a toddler so this posses a serious safty concern. In addition, my power train just stops on its own where the vehicle wont accelerate as it should. i have kept up with all of the service request and needed repairs on the vehicle.

During routine maintenance (motor oil change), I discovered the transfer case leaking oil from a sealing cap. Upon further investigation, I discovered Land Rover is aware of the issue and they have a Technical Bulletin (LTB00834NAS1) for the repair. I contacted Land Rover Corporate and the local dealer, they both refused to repair it free of charge since the vehicle is out of warranty. This is a safety issue and Land Rover should repair it with a recall. If all the oil leaks out (transfer case only holds approx 1 pint), the transfer case would seize and potentially cause a crash.
