Problem
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain 2020 Jaguar F-Type vehicles. The diagnostic check for the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) that runs at vehicle startup may not complete in the time required, which could disable the ABS and the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system during that drive cycle.
Risk
A disabled ABS or DSC system could increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will update the vehicle software, free of charge. The recall began April 12, 2021. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is H335.
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain 2019-2020 F-Type vehicles equipped with 18-inch rear wheels. The tire placard label on the driver's side door opening states an incorrect size for the rear tires. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims for Passenger Cars."
Risk
An incorrect tire placard label may mislead the vehicle owner to install the wrong tire size, potentially affecting vehicle handling, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tire placard label with a label that states the correct rear tire size, free of charge. The recall began October 23, 2019. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is H256.
