OPEN HOURS MON–FRI | 9AM–6PM
2021-2024 Jaguar F-Pace MHEV: 8 NHTSA recalls, fire risk, open DC-DC recall (no fix yet). Symptoms, TSBs, California lemon-law options.
You chose the Jaguar F-Pace MHEV because you wanted more than a luxury SUV — you wanted British refinement fused with a sophisticated mild-hybrid powertrain and the promise of a leaping cat badge on your driveway. The X761 refresh delivered a handsome interior, Jaguar's lauded PIVI Pro infotainment, and the smooth, torque-rich Ingenium 3.0-litre I6 with its 48V belt-integrated starter-generator. For many owners that promise has held. For too many others, the reality has been a procession of dealer visits: seat belts recalled before the first oil change, engine oil leaks that fire-risk engineers took years to formally address, and a 48V DC-DC converter defect with no remedy as of mid-2026.
Between 2021 and 2026, NHTSA opened eight separate recall campaigns against the F-Pace MHEV — spanning seat belt retractors, pretensioners, tail lights, a missing Audio Amplifier Module, two engine oil-leak and fire-risk campaigns, a rearview camera module that overheats, and a DC-DC converter that can cut drive power without warning. That last recall — campaign 26V248000, issued April 2026 — is particularly concerning: as of this writing, Jaguar Land Rover has no approved repair. Interim letters went to owners; the fix is still 'under development.'
Beyond the recall record, the MHEV architecture introduces defects unique to this generation: 48V ISG belt failures that leave the car unable to restart after a stop-start event; dual-battery parasitic drain that kills the 12V battery in under a week; and ZF 8HP harsh-shift complaints spanning the full model run. PIVI Pro freezes affect virtually every trim. Owners researching whether their F-Pace qualifies as a lemon will find a documented record that supports serious scrutiny.
The issues owners report most, ranked by severity — each one verified against a cited NHTSA source.

Open any defect for the symptoms and why it matters for a California lemon-law claim. Each is tied to a cited NHTSA source.
driver seat cushion loose; seat fastener recall; seat may not stay secured
Recall 21V667000 requires dealers to inspect and replace the front seat belt ALS retractor. Under Song-Beverly, a safety recall repair that requires more than one dealer visit to complete — or that fails to resolve the defect — may independently support a California lemon-law claim. Owners of 2021 F-Pace MHEV vehicles should confirm their VIN received the recall remedy and retain the repair order as documentation.
Dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt assemblies as necessary, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed October 20, 2021. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is H378.
driver seat cushion loose; seat fastener recall; seat may not stay secured
Recall 22V524000 addresses a distinct seat belt defect from iss-01: pyrotechnic pretensioner damage that may impair occupant restraint in a crash. This is a structural safety component recall. California owners of 2022 F-Pace vehicles who experienced repeated dealer visits to address occupant-restraint concerns — or whose recall remedy required follow-up — may have a valid Song-Beverly lemon-law claim based on the safety significance of the defect.
Dealers will inspect and replace the front seat belt assemblies, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 15, 2022. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is H412.
tail light out; exterior light warning; reduced rear visibility
Recall 22V525000 involves incorrect tail lights that produce improper rear turn signal illumination, reducing vehicle visibility to following drivers. NHTSA classified this as a safety defect. Under Song-Beverly, rear lighting failures that required multiple dealer visits for diagnosis or parts availability, or that occurred alongside other open recalls on the same vehicle, may collectively support a substantial-impairment argument for a lemon-law claim in California.
Dealers will inspect and replace the tail lights, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 16, 2022. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is H404.
warning light; recall notice; repeated dealer repair
Recall 22V580000 is notable because the missing Audio Amplifier Module silences all ADAS warning tones including seat belt reminders, turn signals, and collision alerts. This is not merely a cosmetic audio defect — NHTSA explicitly cited increased crash risk. California owners of 2022 F-Pace who also experienced PIVI Pro freezes (iss-11) may have had their ADAS alerts doubly disabled, strengthening a Song-Beverly claim based on the cumulative impact of multiple unresolved safety-system defects.
Dealers will install the missing AAM, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 27, 2022. Owners may contact Jaguar's customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is H415.
engine knocking; engine stalls; sudden loss of power; check engine light; engine failure recall
Recall 23V045000 involves a blocked cam carrier oil channel that can cause an oil leak and engine-bay fire risk — a true fire-risk defect justifying Catastrophic severity. NHTSA remedy is dealer inspection and cam carrier replacement. If a California owner's 2023 F-Pace was brought in for oil smell, smoke, or a fire warning before the recall remedy was completed, those pre-remedy repair attempts count toward the Song-Beverly reasonable-number-of-attempts threshold.
Dealers will inspect and replace the engine cam carrier and related components as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 29, 2023. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is H426.
engine knocking; engine stalls; sudden loss of power; check engine light; engine failure recall
Recall 24V451000 addresses a cracked oil filter housing that leaks oil onto hot engine and exhaust components — a documented fire risk spanning the entire 2021-2024 MHEV production run. This is a broader scope than iss-05 (cam carrier, 2023 only). California owners who brought their vehicle in for oil leak or burning smell before receiving the recall remedy have pre-remedy repair attempts that count toward Song-Beverly eligibility. As of June 2026 the remedy is dealer replacement of filter housing and o-rings.
Dealers will replace the filter housing, oil filter, and o-rings, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 27, 2024. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is H506.
backup camera blank; screen goes black in reverse; rearview camera distorted
Recall 24V677000 requires replacement of the Near Field Sensing Module (NFSM) on 2024 F-Pace vehicles where overheating causes the 3D surround-view and backup camera to fail. Because a non-displaying rearview camera is a federally mandated safety feature (FMVSS 111), this defect carries elevated lemon-law significance. In California, any safety recall repair attempt that fails to restore the backup camera display may constitute an unremedied safety defect under Song-Beverly — particularly if the dealer has made more than one attempt.
Dealers will replace the NFSM module, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 24, 2024. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is H516.
EV propulsion warning; power loss; high-voltage cable recall
Recall 26V248000 (issued April 2026) covers the 48V DC-DC converter failure that causes sudden loss of drive power and exterior lighting across 2021-2024 F-Pace MHEV vehicles. As of June 2026, no permanent remedy has been implemented — JLR issued interim owner notification letters only. California F-Pace MHEV owners driving vehicles with an open no-remedy recall for loss of drive power are in an especially strong position under Song-Beverly: a manufacturer cannot fulfill its warranty repair obligation when no approved remedy exists, and owners may pursue buyback or replacement options.
The remedy for this recall is currently under development. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed June 17, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available. Owners may contact Land Rover's customer service at 800-637-6837. Land Rover's numbers for this reca
hard jerk or lurch when downshifting at low speed; hesitation pulling away from a stop; clunk or thud when shifting into Drive or Reverse; difficulty engaging Park; transmission warning light on dash; car rolls back on hill before catching gear
Harsh transmission shifts that recur after a dealer visit, or that the dealer documents but cannot permanently resolve, are a classic repeat-repair pattern under Song-Beverly (Cal. Civ. Code §1793.2). If a California owner has two or more repair orders showing the same shift complaint without a durable fix, the transmission defect may independently support a lemon-law claim even without a formal recall.
Valve body / mechatronic assembly replacement; TCM software recalibration. JLR TSB JTB00700NAS (approximate) addresses the solenoid adhesive failure pattern.
rattle or squealing from engine bay at cold start; 'Check ISG System' warning on dash; mild-hybrid assist disabled message; engine fails to restart after stop-start event; 48V battery warning light; vehicle stranded — engine will not crank via ISG
ISG failure rendering the vehicle unable to restart is a safety-adjacent drivability defect. If a California owner has had the 48V ISG serviced or replaced and the symptom returns, or if the vehicle was stranded and the repair did not hold, repeated unsuccessful repair attempts may meet the Song-Beverly threshold. Owners should preserve every repair order documenting ISG-related complaints.
Belt tension inspection and tensioner replacement; ISG unit replacement if unit fails functional test. JLR TSB LTB00285NAS (approximate) outlines the diagnostic procedure.
touchscreen freezes mid-drive and does not respond; screen goes completely black; backup camera image does not appear when reversing; navigation app crashes or resets; Bluetooth and phone pairing lost after reboot; ADAS warnings silent due to display freeze; system reboots on its own repeatedly
While infotainment freeze is typically 'Functional' severity, the missing backup camera and silenced ADAS alerts (see also recall 22V580000 for the AAM defect) elevate the safety concern. Under Song-Beverly, repeated dealer visits that fail to permanently restore the backup camera display — a federally mandated safety feature — may constitute an unrepairable safety-related defect. Owners should document each visit on repair orders.
Latest PIVI Pro OTA software update (pushed via InControl Remote or dealer USB). If OTA update fails to resolve, dealer reflash via JLR diagnostics. Persistent units require head-unit replacement under warranty.
'Air Suspension Fault' warning on dashboard; vehicle sits noticeably lower than normal; rough ride with no adaptive damping; suspension stays at one corner low; warning light returns after reset; compressor audibly clicking without building pressure
Air suspension failures that require multiple compressor or air-line replacements, or that recur within a short period after a warranty repair, present a strong repeat-repair pattern under California Song-Beverly. This defect degrades both drivability and vehicle control; California owners who have returned the vehicle two or more times for the same fault should document mileage and dates on each repair order.
Diagnose compressor function and air-line integrity. Replace air compressor or failed air-line segment under warranty. JLR TSB JTB00680NAS (approximate) outlines procedure.
loud bang or crack from roof with no apparent impact; tempered glass shatters into cabin while parked or underway; glass debris on rear seat occupants; spiderweb cracking pattern without visible stone chip; repeat fracture after replacement glass installed
Spontaneous glass fracture into the passenger compartment is a safety defect under Song-Beverly because it poses a direct injury risk to occupants. If an F-Pace owner experiences a second fracture after warranty replacement, that pattern — two repair attempts for the same safety defect — may independently meet the Song-Beverly threshold for a California lemon-law claim.
Panoramic roof glass panel replacement under warranty. Some owners report recurrence after replacement, suggesting a systemic glass-quality issue.
dead 12V battery after 3-7 days parked; vehicle will not start or unlock; 'Battery Charging System Fault' warning; repeated jump-starts required; infotainment modules lose settings after battery drain; 48V system fault after 12V drains
Repeated 12V battery failure that prevents the vehicle from starting is a covered drivability defect under Song-Beverly. If a California owner has brought the vehicle in multiple times for battery or no-start symptoms without a permanent fix, those repair orders — documenting the same root-cause electrical defect — may support a lemon-law claim even in the absence of a formal recall.
TCU software update addressing sleep-mode wake cycles (JLR TSB LTB00220NAS approximate). 12V AGM battery replacement if capacity has degraded. Post-update battery health monitoring.
unexpected lurch forward when lifting off throttle at low speed; inconsistent brake feel — pedal harder or softer than expected; mild-hybrid regen cuts in abruptly during highway deceleration; brake-by-wire feel varies between cold and warm driving; rear occupants complain of head-nod during stop-and-go
Unexpected deceleration from regen braking that is unpredictable or causes loss of control is a safety concern. Owners who have documented the issue on multiple repair orders without a permanent remedy may have a drivability-defect claim under California Song-Beverly, particularly if the symptom makes the vehicle unsafe to drive as warranted.
JLR software calibration update to ISG torque-blending map; may be addressed as part of a broader powertrain software update. Persistent cases may require ISG control module recalibration by dealer.
'Parking Brake Fault' warning on dash; EPB applies automatically without command while driving; vehicle pulls sharply when EPB engages unexpectedly; EPB fails to release via button; vehicle rolls after parking on an incline — EPB did not fully apply; orange EPB indicator stays lit even after release
Unexpected EPB engagement while the vehicle is moving is a safety defect that can cause loss of control. Under Song-Beverly, a safety-related defect that has been presented to the dealer two or more times without a confirmed permanent fix — or that causes the vehicle to be out of service for more than 30 cumulative days — may support a California lemon-law claim regardless of whether a formal recall has been issued.
EPB module software update; EPB actuator replacement if motor fails functional test. Dealer diagnostic scan for fault codes P1B80 or related EPB DTCs.
driver's side blowing cold air only even on max heat setting; passenger side stuck on hot air; clicking or ticking noise from behind dashboard when adjusting temperature; dual-zone climate control shows different temps but delivers same air on both sides; HVAC fan works but no temperature change
HVAC failure in a premium luxury SUV is a substantive functional defect. If a California owner has had the climate control system repaired and the fault returns — or if the dealer replaces one actuator but the symptom migrates to the other zone — the recurring HVAC defect pattern may support a Song-Beverly claim under the 'reasonable number of repair attempts' standard. Document every visit with a repair order.
Blend door actuator replacement (driver or passenger side). Requires partial dashboard disassembly; typically a 3-5 hour labor repair under warranty.
low oil warning before scheduled service interval; burning oil smell; blue smoke from exhaust at cold start; rattling or ticking from engine top end at cold start — especially below 40°F; oil consumption of more than 1 quart per 3,000 miles; 'Engine Oil Low — Do Not Drive' message on instrument cluster
Excessive oil consumption that requires the owner to add oil between service intervals is a warranty-covered engine defect. If JLR has performed an oil-consumption test and deemed the rate 'acceptable' while the owner continues to experience low-oil warnings, the disagreement itself — and the ongoing unresolved nature of the defect — may support a Song-Beverly claim. California owners should document every oil-top-up purchase and every dealer visit involving oil or cam phaser complaints.
JLR recommends oil-consumption monitoring period (typically one service interval). If confirmed above threshold, piston ring inspection and potential engine internal repair. Cam phaser rattle: cam phaser replacement and/or timing chain tensioner inspection under warranty.
loss of drive power; exterior lights go out; 12-volt charging fault warning; vehicle stalls or will not maintain 12V system at start-up; recall notice
Recall 26V599000 (September 2026) is the second DC-DC converter campaign on the mild-hybrid E-Pace and F-Pace within five months of 26V248000: it covers later-specification converters that can fail from electrical overload or a start-up software error, causing loss of 12-volt charging and complete loss of drive power and exterior lighting. Only interim safety-risk letters (expected November 13, 2026) are scheduled; the final software remedy is not yet available. A California MHEV owner with prior power-loss or charging complaints, repeat dealer visits, or extended out-of-service time while awaiting a remedy is in a strong Song-Beverly position because the manufacturer cannot yet complete a warranty repair for a safety-critical defect.
Dealers will update the vehicle software, free of charge. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk are expected to be mailed November 13, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the final remedy is available. Owners may contact Land Rover's customer service at 800-637-6837. Land Rover'

remedy available
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Jaguar F-PACE vehicles. The incorrect tail lights may have been installed, resulting in rear turn signals that do not illuminate properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
remedy available
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain 2021-2022 F-Type, 2020-2021 F-Pace, and 2021 XF vehicles. The seat belt automatic locking retractors may deactivate early, which can prevent the child restraint system from securing properly.
Every item below comes from this vehicle's documented defects. The more you recognize, the more a free case review is worth your time.
California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (Cal. Civ. Code §1790 et seq.) provides some of the strongest new-vehicle consumer protections in the country. If your 2021-2024 Jaguar F-Pace MHEV was purchased or leased in California, you may have rights worth exploring — nothing here is legal advice and no attorney-client relationship is formed. Law as of June 2026.
Under Song-Beverly, you may qualify for a repurchase or replacement if Jaguar's authorized dealers have made a reasonable number of attempts without fixing a covered defect. California courts have found that 'reasonable number' may be as few as two attempts for a serious safety issue — and the F-Pace MHEV's record includes seat belt, fire-risk, and drive-power-loss recalls where one or two dealer visits may already be relevant.
The DC-DC converter recall (26V248000) is an unusual case: as of June 2026, Jaguar has no approved remedy. A manufacturer that cannot provide a repair may not satisfy its Song-Beverly obligation, giving California owners potential grounds to seek a buyback or replacement now.
Out-of-service time is also a trigger. Thirty or more cumulative days at an authorized dealer during the warranty period may independently support a Song-Beverly claim. If you prevail, the manufacturer typically pays your attorney's fees.
“Could not duplicate” doesn't mean the defect isn't real. Here's exactly what to do to protect a potential California lemon-law claim.
Document the moment it happens. Photos, video, and screenshots of any warning lights — with the date and the mileage.
Get a repair order every visit — even “found nothing.” That paperwork is the foundation of a claim.
Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. Note any recall that has no available remedy yet.
Track your out-of-service days. California law counts the cumulative days your vehicle spends in the shop.
Keep loaner & rental records. Alternate-transport paperwork during long repairs matters.
Save everything in one place. Symptoms, dates, repair orders, and every repeat visit — the intermittent ones especially.
The most frustrating words a Jaguar dealer service adviser can say are 'we drove it and couldn't replicate the concern.' Here is a playbook tailored to the F-Pace MHEV's known dealer-friction patterns:
1. Cite the recall before you arrive. Open NHTSA recall 26V248000 or 23V045000 on your phone and show it to the service adviser. State: 'I am here for recall X — please document this on the repair order.' Dealers must perform recall repairs even if they cannot duplicate the owner symptom.
2. Capture intermittent symptoms on video. PIVI Pro freeze, ISG rattle, and harsh shifts are notoriously hard to replicate on demand. A dated video is evidence. Ask the adviser to attach it to the repair order.
3. Demand a complete repair order. The RO must state: the complaint as you described it, the arrival mileage, tests performed, and the result — including 'test-drove 5 miles, no fault found.' A blank outcome with no test record is itself evidence of an inadequate investigation.
4. For the DC-DC converter recall (26V248000): as of June 2026, no remedy exists. Ask the dealer to document that your VIN is subject to an open recall with no available repair. This record is essential for any future Song-Beverly evaluation.
5. For oil consumption (Ingenium I6): insist on a formal JLR oil-consumption test — a documented oil-level check bracketing a specific mileage period. If the dealer declines, have that refusal noted on the repair order.
6. Track cumulative out-of-service days. If your F-Pace has spent 30 or more total days at an authorized Jaguar dealer across all warranty-related visits, that threshold is independently significant under California lemon law, regardless of repair-attempt count.
The 2021-2024 Jaguar F-Pace MHEV arrived as the brand's most technologically ambitious compact SUV — and its recall record reflects the cost of that ambition. Eight NHTSA campaigns in four model years, including two engine fire-risk recalls and a 2026 safety recall with no remedy, is unusually dense for a single generation. The 48V MHEV architecture introduced new failure modes — DC-DC converter, ISG belt, dual-battery drain — that JLR has been slow to resolve. PIVI Pro's freeze problem is now well-established across the JLR fleet. For California owners with documented repair histories, the F-Pace MHEV may be exactly the type of case Song-Beverly was designed for: a premium vehicle, a dense defect record, and a manufacturer that has returned cars with issues unresolved.
— The Margarian Law team
If your 2021-2024 Jaguar F-Pace MHEV has been to the dealer multiple times for oil leaks, a DC-DC converter warning, seat belt repairs, transmission complaints, or PIVI Pro failures — and the problem keeps coming back — you may have options. Margarian Law has handled thousands of California lemon-law cases and offers a free case review. No upfront fees. Your repair orders tell the story.
A sudden, complete loss of drive power on the 2021-2024 Jaguar F-Pace MHEV is a documented safety defect. NHTSA Recall 26V248000 (issued April 2026) covers the 48V DC-DC converter failure that can cut both drive power and exterior lighting without warning. As of June 2026, no permanent remedy exists — Jaguar issued interim owner letters only. Contact your Jaguar dealer and document the visit in writing. If the symptom has recurred or no repair was offered because no remedy exists, California lemon-law options may be worth reviewing.
Yes. NHTSA Recall 24V451000 (June 2024) covers 2021-2024 Jaguar F-Pace vehicles whose engine oil filter housing can crack and leak oil onto hot engine and exhaust components, increasing the risk of a fire. Dealers replace the filter housing, oil filter, and o-rings at no charge. A separate recall, 23V045000, addresses a 2023-MY cam carrier oil channel blockage with similar fire-risk consequences. If you smell oil burning or see smoke from the engine bay, do not delay bringing the vehicle to the dealer.
PIVI Pro infotainment freeze, black screen, and backup camera loss are among the most commonly reported issues on 2021-2024 Jaguar F-Pace MHEV vehicles. JLR has issued a technical service bulletin addressing software instability; the fix is a PIVI Pro OTA software update, dealer reflash, or head-unit replacement in persistent cases. The infotainment system is covered under Jaguar's standard new-vehicle warranty. If the dealer has attempted to resolve the freeze more than once without a durable fix, keep all repair orders — repeated unsuccessful infotainment repairs may be relevant to a California lemon-law evaluation.
Yes — two separate seat belt recalls affect consecutive F-Pace model years. NHTSA Recall 21V667000 (August 2021) covers 2021 F-Pace vehicles whose front seat belt automatic locking retractors may deactivate and fail to secure a child restraint. NHTSA Recall 22V524000 (July 2022) covers 2022 F-Pace vehicles with potentially damaged seat belt pretensioners that may not restrain occupants properly in a crash. Both require dealer inspection and seat belt assembly replacement at no charge. Verify your VIN at NHTSA.gov to confirm recall completion status.
A 2021-2024 Jaguar F-Pace MHEV may qualify under California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act if a covered warranty defect has not been repaired after a reasonable number of attempts, or if the vehicle has been out of service for 30 or more cumulative days. Given the vehicle's documented record — eight NHTSA recall campaigns, a DC-DC converter recall (26V248000) with no remedy as of June 2026, and TSB-documented transmission, ISG, and infotainment defects — owners with multiple repair orders on the same complaint may have strong grounds for a free case evaluation. Eligibility depends on your specific repair history and warranty documentation.
Repeated 12V battery drain on 2021-2024 Jaguar F-Pace MHEV vehicles is a documented defect in the dual-battery MHEV architecture. The 48V mild-hybrid system pairs a lithium ISG pack with a conventional 12V AGM battery; a parasitic draw from the telematics or infotainment module can drain the 12V battery in as little as 3-7 days. JLR TSB LTB00220NAS (approximate) addresses this via a telematics control-unit software update and, if needed, 12V battery replacement. If your vehicle has been returned to the dealer multiple times for a dead battery without a lasting fix, those repair orders are evidence of a recurring warranty defect under California Song-Beverly.
