Recalls

2 vehicle recalls from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.

Body & structure Vehicle recall #21V248000 · 2021 · 3 vehicles

What's wrong: Missing spot welds May weaken the structural strength of the rear rail assembly.

Why it matters: The weakened rear rail assembly May allow the rear bumper beam to detach when the vehicle is being towed or the tow-bar assembly to detach when towing a trailer. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear rail assembly, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed May 7, 2021.

Backup camera, Electrical Vehicle recall #25V017000 · 2025 · 5,329 vehicles

What's wrong: Due to wiring damage in the trunk, the rearview camera image May not appear on the display.

Why it matters: A rearview camera that does not display an image can reduce the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will inspect and repair, or replace the rearview camera wiring harness, as necessary, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed February 2, 2026.
