2022 Land Rover Defender 90

The 2022 Defender 90 sits at the beginning of the documented complaint arc, recording 66 complaints and 6 recalls alongside a notably high 456 TSBs. Comparing this to 2023, complaints rose to 75 with 9 recalls, suggesting issues were still being identified and addressed in the following model year. By 2024, complaints dropped sharply to 21, though a new investigation was opened and TSBs fell to 222, indicating the manufacturer was actively addressing known problems. The target year's top complaint areas centered on the Electrical System (16 complaints), Visibility/Wiper (12), and Exterior Lighting (6), pointing to recurring electrical and visibility hardware concerns. Crash complaints numbered 2 with zero fire-related complaints. The data suggests 2022 was an early-production year where gremlins were being worked out, but notably it had fewer recalls than 2023 and significantly fewer complaints than its successor year. The declining trend through 2024 suggests these issues were progressively resolved. Concrete takeaway: the 2022 model represents an acceptable purchase if priced accordingly, as it benefits from years of TSB refinement, though buyers should verify any outstanding recall remedies were completed and budget for potential electrical-related maintenance given the documented complaint pattern.
