When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

Recalls on the 2019 Jaguar F-Pace
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.
Canada — Transport Canada
Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not
always mirror the American ones.
Recall 2021101110 units in Canada
Lights And Instruments
Issue: On certain vehicles, when the Automatic High Beam (AHB) system is turned on, the AHB tell-tale indicator on the instrument panel may not turn on. This could lead you to drive without knowing that high beam lights can turn on automatically. Canadian regulations require a tell-tale indicator to turn on when the automatic high beams are activated. Safety Risk: A driver that does not know that the high beam lights are turned on could create glare for other drivers and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Jaguar will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update vehicle software.
Recall 201902859 units in Canada
Engine
Issue: On certain vehicles, the engine crankshaft pulley bolt may have been manufactured improperly. This could cause it to crack and fail. If this happens, the crankshaft could break and cause a sudden engine failure. A driver may hear loud noises and see warning lights on the dash immediately before the engine fails. Safety Risk: An engine failure could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a loose pulley could separate from the engine and cause damage. If it separates from the vehicle, it could become a hazard for bystanders or other drivers. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to an authorized repair facility to have the crankshaft pulley bolt replaced with a new one.

SERVICE BRAKES
My car didn't stop when I was parking. I went over the sidewalk and I hit the tree on the driver side passenger door. The tree and sidewalk slowed me down enough where I missed the head on collision with the building in front of me. I took pictures and reported it to my insurance.

STEERING
My 2019 Jaguar F Pace has been leaking fluids for over 2 years. A mechanic repaired a coolant pump, however there continues to be fluids leaking. A mechanic informed me my car is making a sound as if the power steering is about to go, which will cause engine failure. After researching, it was brought to my attention this has happened to thousands of f pace owners. I am the only owner of my car which was purchased in April 2019, with 0 miles on it. It now has roughly 92,000 miles on it. I am concerned the engine will fail due to the faulty steering rack and believe this should be a recall. In my research, I found a customer that had to threaten a lawsuit to LRJ to have this issue covered at 100%.

ENGINE
Our vehicle’s exhaust camshaft actuator failed without warning and costed +$3K. The vehicle was only 6 months outside its warranty and less than 60K miles. TSB for our VIN was issued for Camshaft solenoids and the technician stated it could have prevented the actuator failure. The service tech also stated he believes the Jaguar-recommended length between oil changes plays a factor in premature failed of this component. It appears to be a common issue for this engine according to the service tech and F-Pace forums.

I PURCHASED A 2019 JAGUAR F PACE FROM A DEALERSHIP IN NEW JERSEY ON OCTOBER 5TH 2019. I WAS THE 2ND OWNER AND THE CAR ALREADY HAD 19K MILES ON THE ODOMETER. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE CAR IS WELL SERVICED AND MAINTAINED AND IS UNDER WARRANTY UNTIL 2024/60K MILES WHICH IS UNTIL 60K MILES OR 5 YEARS. SO I HAPPILY BOUGHT IT AS IT WAS IN A GREAT CONDITION. UPON ASKING THEM WHEN THE NEXT SERVICE IS DUE, THEY MENTIONED AT 32K MILES OR 12 MONTHS WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. ON SEPT 28TH 2020, MY CAR REACHED 32K MILES SO I SCHEDULED ITS SERVICING WITH JAGUAR DEALERSHIP (NOT THE SAME DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM). ALONG WITH SERVICE, MY CAR WAS ALSO SHOWING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALERT ON THE DASHBOARD. JAG DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AND FOUND SOME ISSUE WITH THE TIMING BELT/TENSIONERS IN THE ENGINE OF THE CAR FOR THE REASON OF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. THEY TOLD ME THIS WILL NOT BE COVERED IN WARRANTY AS THE CAR HAS NO PREVIOUS SERVICE RECORD FROM WHEN IT WAS 1ST SOLD TO ITS FIRST OWNER IN 2018 UNTIL THE SERVICE WHICH THEY JUST DID AFTER I BROUGHT THEM MY CAR. I THEM SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHOM I PURCHASED THE CAR ASKING IF THEY HAVE THE SERVICE RECORD/OIL CHANGE RECORD ON THE CAR WHEN THEY SOLD ME. THEY SAID THEY CANNOT PROVIDE ANY RECORD HISTORY ON THE CAR. NOW I HAVE TO PAY $4100 FROM MY POCKET EVEN WHEN MY CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT MAINTAINED AS PER JAGUAR GUIDELINES, AND SINCE I WAS TOLD TO DO THE SERVICE ONLY WHEN MY CAR GIVES AN ALERT WITH 32K MILES OR 12 MONTHS, WHICH IS WHAT I DID. ALSO AS PER JAGUAR MAINTAINENCE GUIDELINES, IF OIL CHANGE IS DONE, THE CAR IS GOOD FOR 16K MILES, BUT MY DEALERSHIP WHO SOLD ME THE CAR IS SAYING I SHOULD HAVE CHANGED AT EVERY 3K MILES I DRIVE WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY NONSENSE AND I BELIEVE THAT IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN EXPLICITLY POINTED OUT AT THE TIME OF SALE. I FEEL CHEATED.
