The 2021 Jaguar F-Pace has 7 recalls, the most serious being a fire risk from a cracking oil filter housing that leaks oil onto hot engine components, and a DC-DC converter failure on mild-hybrid models that can cut drive power and shut off exterior lights while driving.
On the safety equipment side, the front seatbelt retractors can deactivate their automatic locking function earlier than intended, which prevents a child safety seat from being held securely in a crash. There are also two lighting concerns that describe the same underlying problem: certain vehicles left the factory with incorrect tail lights installed, causing the rear turn signals to not illuminate properly and leaving following drivers without a clear signal of intended turns or lane changes. Note that the DC-DC converter and oil filter housing recalls affect mild-hybrid models and cover vehicles across multiple model years; some of these recalls also affect other Jaguar and Land Rover nameplates.
