2010 Land Rover LR4

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2010 LR4.

Body SUV

The 2010 Land Rover LR4 is a midsize SUV built on the fully boxed steel chassis platform that powered its predecessor, featuring a standard front independent suspension with double-wishbone design up front and solid axle rear suspension. Under the hood, it requires 8.5 quarts of 5W-20 motor oil for proper maintenance. This model year saw 15 owner complaints filed, with the fuel and propulsion system emerging as the most frequently cited concern, and it was subject to a single recall during its production cycle. For researchers examining the LR4's long-term reliability profile, the 2010 model represents a relatively trouble-free year compared to later iterations, though the fuel system issues noted by owners warrant attention in any comprehensive assessment of the vehicle's dependability.

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 2010 model year sits at the beginning of this two-year federal record, showing lower raw complaint volume than the 2011 model (15 complaints versus 22) while carrying identical recall and investigation counts (one each). TSB activity is markedly higher in 2010 at 338 service bulletins versus 276 for 2011, indicating more factory technical guidance was issued for the earlier year. Owner-reported complaints cluster in fuel and propulsion categories, with fuel/propulsion system and fuel system, gasoline each drawing four reports, plus two each for engine/fuel/propulsion and power train; the year also recorded one crash-related complaint and two fire complaints, though the data does not specify root causes. Across this brief arc, complaints rose from 2010 to 2011 while recalls and investigations held flat and TSBs declined, placing 2010 in a relatively lower-complaint position but with elevated manufacturer documentation. Given the modest complaint count, single recall, and concentration of issues in fuel-related systems, the 2010 LR4 appears to be a reasonable candidate among these early years, provided a buyer verifies recall completion and scrutinizes fuel-system and power-train maintenance history.
