E Pace

Defect

On certain 2021 to 2024 Model Year Jaguar E-PACE vehicles during a passenger airbag deployment the airbag may tear as a result of improper folding of the airbag during the airbag assembly process.

Remedy

Affected Vehicles will have the passenger airbag module and associated components replaced.

Defect

On affected vehicles due to a software issue in the Electric Power Inverter Converter B (EPICB) it is possible that as the high voltage battery depletes during driving in EV mode the engine may not restart when the state of charge reduces and the vehicle will therefore lose power. There will not be an associated warning to the driver.

Remedy

Vehicle’s software to be updated in the Electric Power Inverter Converter B (EPICB) and other modules as required to ensure complete cross-module integration. In parallel an over-the-air update will be rolled out and customers who successfully complete this update will not need to visit a retailer.

Defect

On affected vehicles during a passenger airbag deployment the airbag may tear as a result of the facia airbag deployment door panel not being sufficiently weakened.

Remedy

Vehicles will have the passenger airbag module and associated components replaced.

Defect

On certain vehicles there may be insufficient clamp load on the turbocharger oil feed pipe which may over time loosen and lead to an oil leak.

Remedy

The oil feed pipe will be removed the O-rings replaced lubricated and an additional clamp installed.

Defect

The rubberised fuel return hose assembly may have been incorrectly manufactured.

Remedy

Inspect the date code on the fuel return pipe and replace the part if necessary.

Defect

The Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) in the front right hand side seat belt assembly may not function correctly.

Remedy

Inspect the seat belt assembly and replace if required.

Defect

The right hand front (RHF) (driver�s side) supplementary restraint seatbelt pre-tensioner will not function unless the left hand front seat (LHF) (passenger�s side) is occupied.

Remedy

Dealers will re-orient the connections to align with the respective seating positions.

Defect

The fasteners on the right hand front seat frame may be missing or incorrectly assembled.

Remedy

Replace the right hand front seat.

Defect

Vehicles failed to routinely achieve the required levels of CO2 emissions.

Remedy

Update the vehicle software to the latest version.

Defect

Operation of the reversing lamp may be affected on certain vehicles. When the driver engages reverse gear and the Electric Park Brake (EPB) is applied the reversing lamps will not illuminate.

Remedy

On affected vehicles download the latest software to correct this.

Defect

Both front brake flexi hose brackets may not be to design specification. The brake flexi-hose may come into contact with the front tyres leading to chafing and ultimately a loss of brake fluid. Brake fluid loss will illuminate a red warning triangle on the instrument cluster and if sufficient brake fluid leaks out this will ultimately result in extended brake pedal travel combined with reduced braking performance and vehicle stopping distances will increase. Loss of one braking circuit could compromise vehicle stability and increase the risk of an accident.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and inspect the front brake flexi hose brackets. If the clearance is not to the required specification the technician will replace either one or both of the front brake flexi hose brackets.

Defect

The brazing of the fuel rail end caps is inconsistent and may not correctly seal the fuel rail ends. Fuel vapour and liquid fuel leaks can occur over time. This can lead to a liquid fuel leak into the engine bay.

Remedy

On affected vehicles replace the fuel rail with a correctly manufactured version.
