In the European service world, Land Rover airbag failures land on our lifts with regularity. 74 complaints across 12 year-model entries (2005–2024) is consistent with what we move in parts orders. The pattern repeats across model years, which usually points to a shared component supplier rather than a single bad production batch. 3 crash reports on file. Not a high count, but the failure mode has put owners in the position to file. Independent-shop repair on this category runs around $1,100; dealer pricing tends to run thirty to forty percent higher on European brands. Run the VIN through the NHTSA recall lookup before you buy. Takata-era inflators are still being recalled. The dealer fixes them free.
