2016 Land Rover Range Rover

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2016 Range Rover.

Body SUV

The 2016 Land Rover Range Rover arrives as a full-size luxury SUV carrying 73 owner-reported complaints and 12 recalls, with steering emerging as the leading trouble spot. Across a complaint history spanning 1990 through 2026, this model year sits well below the peak of 127 complaints recorded for 2003 but notably above the 1992 low of just six, placing it in the middle of the nameplate's long-term reliability spectrum. That positioning suggests the 2016 edition reflects neither the best nor worst of Range Rover ownership experience, but rather a representative sample of the brand's persistent steering sensitivities and recall activity.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2016 Range Rover falls within a period of significant technical volatility, following a peak of 1,315 technical service bulletins (TSBs) in 2013 and preceding a continued high TSB volume in 2019. For the 2016 model year, the primary areas of concern are steering with 21 complaints and suspension with 11 complaints. There were also 7 complaints regarding the fuel/propulsion system, 5 categorized as unknown or other, and 3 recorded crash complaints. The provided data does not specify the root causes for these steering or suspension failures. While the record lacks data for the years immediately adjacent to 2016, the broader arc shows a massive escalation in TSBs starting in 2010 that persists through 2024. Given the concentration of steering and suspension issues and the historical trend of high TSB volumes for this era, this is not a recommended year to buy.
