Range Rover (L460)
Verdict Go with the P530's 4.4L V8, which has 18 complaints and no fires on file, over the 3.0L inline-six, and approach the 2024-only six-cylinder variant carefully. Put the brakes first at inspection: ask for the full brake service history and check pedal feel.

Complaint Breakdown
Reliability Overview
The L460 Range Rover landed in 2023 on JLR's clean-sheet MLA-Flex aluminum architecture, the first all-new Range Rover bodyshell since 2013. NHTSA has logged 43 complaints across three model years, which is a thin base for definitive reliability calls. Two of those reports reference vehicle fires and two reference fatalities, and on a 43-complaint sample those severity counts carry weight that raw filing totals understate.
Electrical and brake complaints lead the mix. Thirteen of the 43 filings sit under SERVICE BRAKES or SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, nearly a third of all reports concentrated in one subsystem. On a 6,000-pound SUV the implication for stopping reliability matters even at low sample size. Electrical reports total 14 and engine-system filings 10. Interior issues land at 5, and transmission sits at 7. The launch-quality story this generation is telling so far is one of brake and electrical software bugs surfacing in the first three model years of a new platform.
The 4.4L twin-turbo V8, BMW-sourced for the P530, logs 18 complaints across the three years and zero fires, split across two engine codes: the 2023 NC10-P8H has 11 complaints and the 2024-2025 NC11-P8S has 7. The 3.0L Ingenium inline-six (P400) sits at 21 complaints and one fire, and a small 3-complaint 2024-only six-cylinder variant accounts for the two fatalities and 6 of the 16 reported injuries. Buyers cross-shopping the two main powertrains should read our P400 vs P530 comparison for the driving differences. The reliability gap between V8 and I6 in NHTSA's data is real but the sample is too small to call it permanent.
Eighteen recall campaigns cover the 2023-2025 L460, four of them for engine oil leaks: a blocked cam carrier oil channel, a missing turbo oil drain gasket, unsecured oil cooler hoses and a cracking oil filter housing. A fifth, for falling transmission oil pressure, can shift the gearbox into neutral while driving. Two more address rearview cameras that can go blank, one from an overheating sensing module and one from water intrusion. For the long-form federal-data read, see Is the 2026 Range Rover Actually Reliable? What the Federal Data Shows.
The L460 is current production, so this story will keep moving. Buyers ordering new are committing to a generation whose long-tail durability has not been proven and whose complaint base is still too small for confident calls.

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2021-2024 Land Rover Range Rover Velar and Land Rover Discovery, 2020-2023 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, 2019-2024 Land Rover Range Rover Sport, 2020-2024 Land Rover Range Rover, 2020 Land Rover Discovery Sport, 2020-2024 Land Rover Defender, 2021-2024 Jaguar F-Pace, and 2021-2022 Jaguar E-Pace mild-hybrid electric vehicles (MHEVs). Insufficient electrical load balancing during times of high demand can lead to a current overload condition and malfunction of the DCDC converter. A failure of the DC-DC converter will result in a loss of 12-Volt system charging and can lead to complete loss of drive power and exterior lighting.
Consequence: A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.

The DC-DC converter may malfunction due to an electrical overload that can occur during high power demand. Additionally, a software error can cause the DC-DC converter to stop functioning at vehicle start-up under certain circumstances. Failure of the DC-DC converter will result in the loss of 12-Volt system charging and can lead to complete loss of drive power and exterior lighting.
Consequence: A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling one 2023 Land Rover Range Rover PHEV vehicle. A bolt for the high voltage battery may not be secured properly, which can result in the high voltage battery sparking and overheating.
Consequence: A high voltage battery that sparks and overheats increases the risk of a fire.

Source: classified from NHTSA complaint and recall data. "Battery-related" includes high-voltage propulsion battery, charging system, hybrid drivetrain, electric propulsion, regenerative braking, 12V auxiliary battery, and thermal-event complaints. Other complaints (suspension, steering, brakes, infotainment) appear in the engine and vehicle-level sections. Rates are absolute counts, not normalized per-VIN — high-volume models naturally produce more raw complaints than low-volume ones. Self-reported death and injury counts are capped per complaint to limit form abuse.

Buyer's Guide
For 2023-2025 buyers, the BMW-sourced 4.4L V8 in the P530 is the lower-risk engine choice on this dataset. Its 18 complaints across the two codes come with zero fires. The 2024-only six-cylinder variant is the one to approach carefully on the used market: 3 complaints, 2 fatalities, and 6 injuries concentrated in a single model year is a severity-density flag, even though the raw count is small.
Pre-buy inspection should focus on the brake system above everything else, since brakes account for nearly a third of all complaints on the generation. Ask the selling dealer for a full brake service history, request any work performed under SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC component codes, and pay close attention to pedal feel during the test drive. Soft pedal, long travel, or hesitation in initial bite all warrant follow-up. Run every electrical accessory through its paces during a 30-minute drive (drive modes, climate, tailgate, air-suspension settings, infotainment) and confirm no warning lights cycle. The L460's electrical and software profile is still settling.
