What is being recalled
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain 2018 Jaguar E-Pace vehicles. The brackets that secure the front brake hoses may not have been installed properly, allowing the front brake hoses to contact the tires, possibly resulting in a brake fluid leak.
Why it is dangerous
A brake fluid leak can lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the front brake hose brackets, replacing any that do not provide sufficient clearance, free of charge. The recall began on April 16, 2018. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is H074.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 18V-140 when calling a dealer.
