2006 Land Rover Range Rover recalls & complaints
Source: NHTSA, updated daily. Last checked 2026-10-18. Recalls apply to specific VINs — run your VIN to confirm.
2 safety recalls, most serious first
1. Brakes
What's wrong, in plain English: Anything that slows the car down. Treat brake recalls as urgent. One or both of the flexible front brake hoses may rupture causing loss of brake fluid.
What could happen: If one or both of the flexible brake hoses fails, the vehicle may require a longer distance to stop, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left and right front brake hoses, free of charge. The recall began on July 28, 2015. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is P054.
What to do
- Check whether your car is affected: enter your 17-digit VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A recall covers specific VINs, not every 2006 RANGE ROVER.
- Book a repair at any authorized Land Rover dealer. Quote NHTSA campaign 15V039000 (manufacturer code P054).
- The repair is free. By US law, safety recall repairs cost the owner nothing, no matter the car's age or mileage.
- Manufacturer hotline: 1-800-637-6837.
- Buying this car used? Ask the seller for proof the recall was completed, or run the VIN yourself before paying.

My 2006 Range Rover rolls away while shifted into Park. This matches the exact defect of Land Rover Recall B023 / NHTSA Campaign 05V502000, but Land Rover tells me my VIN is excluded. The original recall parameters were too narrow and missed my vehicle.
