Summary
The Jaguar F-Pace has 21 recalls spanning 2017 through 2024, with the most serious recent concern being a cracked oil filter housing on 2021-2024 vehicles that leaks oil onto hot engine components and raises the risk of an engine fire.
The oil filter housing issue on 2021-2024 models has two overlapping recalls, including one affecting replacement engines on 2021 vehicles where the same cracking and oil leakage can occur. On 2023 models specifically, a separate engine cam carrier oil channel blockage can also cause an oil leak with the same fire risk. Moving to occupant protection, 2022 F-Pace vehicles have two related issues: damaged seatbelt pretensioners on both front seating positions that can fail to tighten the belt in a crash, and some vehicles built without an audio amplifier module, meaning seatbelt reminders, turn signal chimes, and driver assistance alerts produce no sound. The 2021-2022 model years also received incorrect tail lights in some cases, causing rear turn signals not to illuminate properly. On 2024 models, an overheating near-field sensing module can cause the surround camera system, including the rearview camera, to go blank.
Going back to 2019-2021 production, the seat belt automatic locking retractors on 2020-2021 models can deactivate early and prevent a child seat secured by the belt from staying anchored in a crash; the lower anchor points on the seat are not affected. The 2020 model year has a separate defect where the passenger-side automatic locking retractor may fail to lock at all when used to secure a child seat. On 2019 models with V6 or V8 gasoline engines, the crankshaft pulley retaining bolt can fracture and cause the engine to fail while driving.
On 2019-2020 models, the automatic high beam system does not indicate through the instrument cluster when high beams are active, which can create glare for oncoming drivers. The same indicator failure appears on 2018 models. The 2017-2018 instrument cluster can go blank intermittently, cutting off speed and warning displays while driving. Earlier 2017 models have several issues: a fuel return hose on 2.0L diesel-equipped vehicles can leak fuel onto the road, creating a skid hazard for other vehicles and a fire risk, and a high-pressure fuel pump on one 3.0L-equipped example may have had an overlong mounting bolt, allowing the fuel line to crack and leak into the engine compartment. Two overlapping 2017 recalls cover a rear driveshaft that can be too short or otherwise incorrect, in either case potentially separating from the vehicle and cutting drive power.
