Jaguar is recalling 2020 F-Type vehicles because a startup diagnostic check may fail, potentially disabling the Anti-Lock Brake System and Dynamic Stability Control.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (ABS/DSC software) that could increase the risk of a crash, but the source text does not report any deaths or serious injuries, placing it in the High category rather than Severe or Critical.
Plain-English summary
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain 2020 Jaguar F-Type vehicles. The recall addresses a software issue in the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) control module. Specifically, the diagnostic check for the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) that runs at vehicle startup may not complete within the required time frame.
If this diagnostic check fails to complete, it could disable both the ABS and the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system during that specific drive cycle. A disabled ABS or DSC system could increase the risk of a crash. The source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities associated with this defect.
Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will update the vehicle software free of charge. The recall began on April 12, 2021. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236. Jaguar's number for this recall is H335.
