The 2020 Jaguar F-Type has 3 recalls, the most serious being a software fault that can disable both the anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control at startup, leaving the driver without two key systems that prevent skidding and wheel lockup during hard braking.
When the brake system diagnostic that runs at startup fails to complete in time, the anti-lock brakes and stability control drop out for that entire drive cycle. The dashboard will light up with warning indicators and a message to alert the driver, but the systems remain inactive until the vehicle is restarted and the check completes successfully. Without anti-lock brakes, the wheels can lock under heavy braking and cause the car to skid rather than steer. Without stability control, the vehicle is more likely to slide or spin in low-traction situations. There is also a label recall affecting vehicles fitted with 18-inch rear wheels: the tire placard on the driver's door opening lists an incorrect rear tire size, which can lead an owner to mount the wrong tires and alter how the car handles.
