What is being recalled
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain 2018 Jaguar F-TYPE vehicles equipped with Highline headlamps. If a front turn signal indicator stops working, the visual and audible turn signal reminders do not flash or chime faster as required. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Why it is dangerous
Without the change to the flash and chime rate, the driver may not know that a turn signal is not working. If the turn signal is not working, other drivers will not be aware that the vehicle is turning, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will update the vehicle's software, free of charge. The recall began on July 12, 2017. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is H026.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 17V-341 when calling a dealer.
