Complaints filed for the 2016 Jaguar F-Type are spread thin across a small number of reports, with the powertrain drawing the most attention. Owners describe rear differential noise that progressed to full failure requiring replacement, and separate reports mention the transmission or drivetrain behaving unexpectedly. Engine complaints include occasional underperformance and an intermittent ABS warning light that appears without storing diagnostic codes. A steering concern shows up across more than one report, owners describe the wheel resisting input or wandering at low speeds, with no warning light preceding the problem. Isolated reports cover a rear camera displaying a fault message with no image in reverse, and a single account of a window or glass panel shattering unexpectedly while driving at highway speed.

By System
The 2016 Jaguar F-Type has two recalls, the more serious being an electric power steering system left in a supplier test mode that can introduce unexpected steering inputs and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
The second recall involves a rear stabilizer bar that may have been installed with the wrong part. Because the stabilizer bar affects how the car handles body roll in corners, the electronic stability control system may not work as intended, reducing the car's ability to hold a stable line and raising the risk of a crash.

What can fail

What the fix does
A dealer will update the steering system software or replace the steering rack to put the system in proper operating mode.
