Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs at 105,000 mi; coolant at 150,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 150,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

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 2011 Land Rover Range Rover represents a localized spike in federal complaints within its generation, recording 82 complaints compared to 59 in 2010 and a subsequent drop to 44 in 2012. For the target year specifically, the primary problem areas are Structure (21 complaints), Fuel/Propulsion System (10), and Fuel System, Gasoline (9), alongside 7 Air Bag complaints, 2 crash reports, and 1 fire report. The 2011 model also carries a heavy regulatory footprint with 5 recalls and 2 investigations, matching the investigation count of 2010 but doubling that of 2012. While complaints dip in 2012, the generation-wide trend shows a steep, continuous escalation in Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs)—climbing from 389 in 2011 to 1,315 in 2013—indicating increasing service complexity, though the data does not specify the root causes. Positioned as a peak complaint year amidst escalating service requirements, the 2011 Range Rover is a less favorable purchase compared to the lower-complaint 2012 model, and prospective buyers should be highly cautious of unresolved structural and fuel system issues.
