Defect. 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.

Steering

Unexpectedly, The power steering went out on my 2020 Jaguar F-Type while driving. The power steering assistance reduced light came on in my dashboard. I'm being told by Hennessy Jaguar in Atlanta that even though my car has a little over 30k miles VIN # [XXX] , it's going to need a new Power Steering Rack. The cost for this repair is going to be over 6k. This is not acceptable, and this repair or replacement should not be necessary so soon as the life expectancy is much longer than 5 years. I am reaching out for help since being unsuccesful for Jaguar to cover this repair even though it is past the warranty period.

What component or system failed, and is it available for inspection upon request? The following component failures occurred in my 2020 Jaguar F-PACE (VIN [XXX] ): Electrical System – Driver-side wiring harness short circuits near the footwell, disabling door locks/window controls. Cooling System – Bleed pipe and expansion tank coolant leaks triggering low-fluid warnings. Battery System – Energy control module failure causing recurrent low-battery alerts. Braking System – Front/rear linings worn to 3mm/2mm, below SAE J866 safety thresholds. The vehicle remains available for NHTSA inspection at your request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Electrical: Exposed wiring poses fire hazards (violating FMVSS 305), while inoperative door controls risk occupant entrapment (FMVSS 208). Brakes: Worn linings impair stopping distances (FMVSS 135), increasing collision risks. Cooling: Repeated coolant loss risks sudden engine overheating and highway breakdowns. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Jaguar-certified technicians at authorized dealerships confirmed the electrical, cooling, and battery failures during repairs in October-November 2024. The brake wear was documented but deemed "within tolerance" despite sub-spec measurements. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? Only Jaguar’s manufacturer-authorized dealers inspected the vehicle. No p

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
