Jaguar E-Pace Recalls

The Jaguar E-Pace has 11 recalls covering 2018 through 2024 model years, with the most serious being a passenger airbag defect on 2021-2024 vehicles where the bag can tear during deployment, failing to cushion an occupant in a crash and allowing hot gases to escape that can cause burns.

The airbag issue spans multiple filings but describes the same underlying problem: on 2021-2024 models, the passenger airbag can snag its cover panel or fail due to a manufacturing flaw, causing it to tear rather than inflate properly. The 2021 model year sits within this range and is covered by the broader remedy.

On 2021-2022 mild-hybrid models, the DC-DC converter can fail, triggering a red warning message and, if the vehicle continues to be driven, cutting power to the wheels or shutting off the exterior lights entirely. A separate DC-DC converter issue on 2021-only vehicles produces the same outcome through a related failure path, leaving the 12-volt battery without a charge source.

The 2021-2024 model years also have a brake pad wear warning light that can fail to illuminate when pads are worn down, removing the driver's only dashboard cue that braking performance is degrading.

Going back to the 2018 model year, front brake hose brackets can be improperly installed, allowing the hoses to rub against the tires and eventually leak brake fluid, which lengthens stopping distances. The 2018 model year also has a fuel rail end cap that can leak fuel vapor or liquid into the engine bay on vehicles equipped with the 2.0L gasoline engine, where contact with hot engine or exhaust components raises the risk of a fire.
