How this compares
Among the 60 models we publish an EU recall page for, the Land Rover Freelander ranks #54 by overall signal strength. Its 19 EU Safety Gate campaigns are more than the median of 17 for this set. Its 10 KBA campaigns are fewer than the median of 34. Its RDW open-recall share is fewer than the 6.6% median.
Counts across sources are not comparable to each other and are never summed: a Safety Gate alert and a KBA campaign can describe the same defect or different ones. Treat each as one advisory pointer.
