Recalls: Jaguar X761 F-Pace
Overview
Manufacturers, or importers, issue recalls for defects or faults which have the potential to cause injury. Generally, manufacturers will inform the original buyers if their vehicle is subject to a recall and of the steps required to remedy the defect or fault. Please note that the recalls below (if any) are for Australian-delivered vehicles only. Furthermore, the number of recalls should not be taken as an indication of a model’s reliability or its safety more generally.
Recalls: Jaguar X761 F-Pace
2016 Jaguar F-Pace 3.0L Diesel: starter motor cable could contact engine mounting
In October 2016, a recall was issued for thirty-six Jaguar F-Pace vehicles that had 3.0-litre diesel engines and were manufactured from 3 March 2016 to 15 June 2016. In these vehicles, the starter motor cable may have been incorrectly routed and could therefore contact the engine mounting. If the starter motor cable was in contact with or in close proximity to the engine mounting, the outer sheathing of the table could wear through and expose the wires. Continued use of the vehicle with exposed wires could cause arcing and a short circuit; symptoms of this included illumination of a warning light on the instrument panel, possible vehicle stalling, melting of the battery cable sheathing and surrounding parts; the latter could lead to smoke from under the bonnet and, in extreme cases, an under-bonnet fire. For the recalled Jaguar F-Pace vehicles, the starter motor cable was to be re-routed; if any components were damaged, they were to be replaced (PRA 2016/15699).
2017-18 model year Jaguar F-Pace with 2.0 Diesel engine: fuel return hose may leak
In June 2017, a recall was issued for 2017 and 2018 ‘model year’ Jaguar F-Pace vehicles that had 2.0-litre diesel engines and were available for sale in Australia from 20 November 2016 to 22 May 2017. In these vehicles, the fuel return may leak; the fuel leak may be noticed as a fuel odour and the driver may observe fuel puddles beneath the vehicle. If fuel leaked onto the road surface, it would pose a skid hazard to other road users and increase the risk of a collision. Furthermore, if leaking fuel came into contact with a hot surface in the engine bay, it could also ignite and cause a fire. The recalled Jaguar XE vehicles had VINs in the range SADCA2BN7JA240001 to SADCA2AN3JA899999 (PRA 2016/16071).
2016-18 model year Jaguar X761 F-Pace: ‘virtual’ instrument display intermittently goes blank
In January 2018, a recall was issued for 2016-18 model year Jaguar X761 F-Pace vehicles because the ‘virtual’ instrument display could intermittently go blank (i.e. no information would be displayed). Since the instrument display would no longer display information such as vehicle speed, there would be an increased risk of collision. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2018/16521.
2018-19 model year Jaguar X761 F-Pace: potential fuel leak
In March 2018, a recall was issued for 2018-19 model year Jaguar X761 F-Pace vehicles that had 2.0-litre turbocharged ‘Ingenium’ petrol engines. In these vehicles, the engine-mounted fuel rails may not have been manufactured correctly – this could cause fuel vapour and liquid fuel leaks within the engine bay. If this occurred, vehicle occupants may notice a fuel odour and, if the bonnet was lifted, liquid fuel could be visible. If the leaking fuel came into contact with a hot surface in the engine bay, the fuel could ignite and start an under-bonnet fire. For the VIN ranges of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2018/16679.
2017 model year Jaguar X761 F-Pace: Takata airbag recall
In January 2019, recall campaign H201 was issued for 2017 model year Jaguar X761 F-Pace vehicles. These vehicles had Takata driver’s airbags and, over time, propellant wafers inside the airbag could absorb moisture. In the event of airbag deployment, excessive pressure inside the metal airbag inflator housing could cause it to explode or rupture, such that metal fragments may be projected through the airbag and into the vehicle’s cabin. These metal fragments had the potential to cause serious injury or fatality. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17271.
2016-18 Jaguar X761 F-Pace 2.0T: carbon dioxide emissions
In March 2019, recall campaign H185 was issued for Jaguar X761 F-Pace vehicles that had 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engines and were available for sale from 9 November 2016 to 5 July 2018. During testing, these vehicles demonstrated a greater than expected variation in carbon dioxide emissions such that they may not meet the required emissions standards. To fix, the vehicles were to receive a software update. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17408.
