JAGUAR E-PACE Recalls

The Jaguar E-Pace has 10 recalls covering 2018 through 2024 model years, with the most serious affecting 2021 models where a failing DC-DC converter can cut power to the wheels and shut off exterior lights while driving, raising the risk of a crash. The 2021 through 2024 model years share a passenger-side front airbag that can tear during deployment, either failing to cushion an occupant properly in a crash or releasing hot gases that can cause burns. A separate but related issue on 2021 models involves the airbag cover panel catching during inflation, which can also cause the airbag to tear and not inflate fully. There is also a brake pad wear warning light on 2021 through 2024 vehicles that can fail to illuminate when the pads are worn down, leaving the driver without any indication that braking performance has degraded. Going back to the 2018 model year, the fuel rail end caps on vehicles equipped with the 2.0L gasoline engine can leak, allowing fuel vapor or liquid fuel into the engine bay where it can ignite near hot engine or exhaust components. The 2018 model year also has a brake hose bracket issue where improperly installed front brake hose brackets allow the hoses to contact the tires, eventually wearing through the hose and causing a brake fluid leak that lengthens stopping distances.
