Jaguar E-Pace Brake Pad Warning Light May Not Activate

Jaguar is recalling certain 2021-2024 E-Pace vehicles because the brake pad wear warning light may not appear when brake pads are worn. This could reduce braking ability and increase crash risk.

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: Brake warning systems are critical safety features. Failure to warn drivers of worn brake pads increases crash risk due to reduced braking ability. No injuries or deaths have been reported, placing this in the high-risk category without confirmed harm.
