Recalls
2 vehicle recalls from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.
Equipment Vehicle recall #19V682000 · 2019 · 241 vehicles
What's wrong: The tire placard label on the driver's side door opening states an incorrect size for the rear tires. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 110, "tire selection and rims for passenger cars."
Why it matters: An incorrect tire placard label May mislead the vehicle owner to install the wrong tire size, potentially affecting vehicle handling, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tire placard label with a label that states the correct rear tire size, free of charge. The recall began October 23, 2019.
Stability control, Brakes (hydraulic) Vehicle recall #21V167000 · 2021 · 2,089 vehicles
What's wrong: The diagnostic check for the anti-lock brake system (ABS) that runs at vehicle startup May not complete in the time required, which could disable the ABS and the dynamic stability control (dsc) system during that drive cycle.
Why it matters: A disabled ABS or dsc system could increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will update the vehicle software, free of charge. The recall began April 12, 2021.
