Range Rover (L405)

The L405 ran from 2013 through 2022, ten model years of monocoque aluminum chassis, air suspension across every trim, and a rotating engine catalog spanning supercharged V8s, supercharged V6s, a diesel inline-six, and a mild-hybrid I6 on the late cars. NHTSA records 299 complaints across the generation, a modest absolute volume that reflects the L405's low US production share in the full-size luxury segment rather than an absence of reliability concerns. With a sample this size, qualitative direction in the data carries more weight than precise per-engine rates.

The complaint pattern is what owners and independent JLR shops have flagged on the L405 since launch. Steering leads at 88 complaints, suspension follows at 47, and electrical systems contribute 35. Those three categories alone account for roughly 57% of the dataset. Engine sits at 26 and transmission at 15. The shape matches the well-documented secondary-market pattern for L405 ownership: air-strut and ride-height-sensor failures, infotainment and module faults, and steering-rack work that compounds quickly past 60,000 to 80,000 miles.

On the powertrain side, the data splits more clearly between the supercharged V8 family and the V6 group. The 5.0L AJ133-derived supercharged V8 appears in multiple emissions and flex-fuel variants, with the highest-volume entries logging 55 complaints (LEV2 ULEV, 2014-2015) and 44 complaints (LEV2 ULEV, 2016-2017). Steering and suspension dominate both, with engine and electrical filings sitting in the single digits. The later AJ133 supercharged V8 used 2018-2021 records only 24 complaints but shifts heavier toward engine (8) and electrical (5) issues, plus 2 of the generation's 3 fire reports.

The 3.0L V6 lineup tells a different story. The supercharged LEV3 SULEV30 V6 (2016-2019) logs 38 complaints with a wider component spread: 9 electrical, 8 steering, 6 transmission, 5 fuel system. It is the only engine in this dataset that carries a fatality and a fire. The older supercharged 3.0L V6 (2014-2016) and the Td6 diesel (2016-2019) sit at 31 and 25 complaints, with steering and fuel-system buckets leading respectively. The AJ120P6 mild-hybrid inline-six on the 2020-2022 cars logs only 12 complaints, half of those electrical, but the sample is too thin to read as a clean upgrade over the supercharged variants.
