How many recalls does the 2000 Land Rover Range Rover have?

NHTSA lists 3 recalls for the 2000 Land Rover Range Rover model year. Whether one car had the recall work done depends on that car, so check its VIN with NHTSA.

1995: 38 owner complaints, Maybe

Our take: worth a look. Owners filed about as many complaints as in a typical year of this model.

Year verdict

Worthy

0.9× a typical year

About as many owner complaints as a typical year. Still get it inspected.

Confidence: Medium

Based on 18 complaints in its first 8 years: enough to go on, not a lot.

NHTSA did not answer for 9 years, so this may change.

Past 100,000 miles

Not judged

No complaints in its first 12 years give a mileage past 100,000 miles. Many owners never write the miles, so that is not a clean bill of health.

How the dial was counted

Year verdict: Typical year: 20 complaints, the median of 8 nearby years. Each counted over its first 8 years from January 1999; this one had 18.

What one owner wrote about the transmission and drivetrain

I was driving down for I-485 s at 30-35 miles per hour. Without any warning the driver shaft flew from under the vehicle. I took exit 39 & the vehicle sounded. As I struggled to get home the axle rod broke. I got home parked & it I need to get it fixed. *tr

Recalls

3 recalls on file

Not every car needs every fix. Run the VIN at NHTSA to see which are still open. Repairs are usually free at a dealer for the brand; ask before any work.

Transmission and drivetrain
Nov 16, 2000 · Recall 00V377000
Vehicle description: certain sport utility vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 114, "theft protection." water contamination of the automatic transmission oil can lead to various failure modes of the transmission. One of these failure models results in incorrect operation of the park lock function that could allow a vehicle to roll away if parked without the handbrake properly set.
What can happen
Unintentional vehicle movement could result in a crash or personal injury.
The fix
Dealers will check the park lock function; reposition the automatic transmission breather tube; and test the automatic transmission fluid and flush if necessary.
Brakes
Oct 16, 2000 · Recall 00V142001
Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. The loading conditions on the vehicle's left side engine idler pulley can exceed the maximum calculated figure of the original design specification. The material of the pulley can fracture and ultimately fail. Failure of the pulley material can cause the pulley to throw off the serpentine belt.
What can happen
This could result in a loss of engine auxiliary functions (power steering, water pump, alternator, air conditioning and ace).
The fix
Dealers will install an improved idler pulley.
Brakes
Jul 3, 2000 · Recall 00V187000
Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. One or both of the bolts that retain the brake caliper to the axle may have missed a final assembly torque operation. Consequently they may be loose or possibly missing.
What can happen
Caliper disengagement from the axle could result causing reduced vehicle stability when braking and possibly locking up of the affected wheel.
The fix
Dealers will inspect these vehicles to verify that the proper torque has been applied.

Crash ratings

NHTSA did not answer

NHTSA's stars out of five, for each version it tested. Front crash stars only compare cars of about the same size and weight. The tests changed for 2011 models, so these stars do not line up with newer ones.

Fuel economy

12 to 13 mpg combined, across 2 versions

The EPA's estimates for each engine and transmission, and its own yearly fuel cost. Yours depends on how you drive and the shape the car is in. Figures for 2007 and older use the EPA's 2008 method, so they may be lower than the original sticker.

Before you buy this one

5 checks, with a close look at the transmission and drivetrain

Built from this year's numbers. Whatever the data says, the car in front of you is the one that counts.

Run the VIN at NHTSA to confirm every recall was fixed.
This year has 3 recalls on file. Recall repairs are usually free at a dealer for the brand. Ask the dealer to confirm before any work is done. Look up a VIN at NHTSA.
Ask the seller for the service records.
Look closely for any work on the transmission and drivetrain. It is the part owners complain about most for this year.
Have a mechanic you trust inspect it before you pay.
Ask them to look hard at the transmission and drivetrain. It is usually costly to fix.
Look at a vehicle history report.
It can show reported crashes, flood or salvage titles, and mileage that does not add up.
On the test drive, pay attention to the transmission and drivetrain.
Feel for slipping, hesitation, harsh or late shifts, and shudder at low speed.

What a paid report adds

A history report such as Carfax or AutoCheck pulls in more of the car’s past than these checks can:

Crashes and damage reported by police, insurers or shops, even when it was fixed.
Service visits that shops reported, with the miles each time.
How many owners, for how long, and the states it was registered in.
Whether it was a rental, fleet or lease car, when that was reported.

It only knows what was reported to it. A clean report is not proof of a clean car. Ask the seller first: many dealers hand one over for free.

Red flags in a history

Salvage title
Usually an insurer called it a total loss. In most states it cannot be driven on the road until it is rebuilt and inspected.
Rebuilt title
A salvage car that was fixed and passed a state check. It can be fine, but it is worth less, can be harder to insure, and needs a careful inspection.
Flood damage
Water can ruin wiring and sensors months later. Be wary of a flood brand that vanished after a move to another state.
Lemon or maker buyback
The maker bought it back over a defect it could not fix. Ask what the defect was and how it was fixed.
Odometer rollback
A mileage reading lower than an earlier one, or a title marked not actual miles.
Many owners, fast
Three owners in two years can mean a problem each one passed along.
Gaps in the records
Years with no service or registration. Ask why: it may have sat, been off the road, or been rebuilt.

Title words and rules differ by state. Not legal advice.

Pre purchase inspection
