The defect

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."

The risk

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 remedy

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.

I was almost hit by a car in parking lot and other driver stated that I didn't have my directional on. This has happened on the highway stop lights which accounts for people honking at me when crossing roadway during a turn onto another road. I checked and found the light wasn't working for turn signal. I then contacted dealer to replace what I'm told is the entire headlight unit. Apprently they indicated an issue over the years with known DRL blowing out and the turning signal on headlight doesn't work . I researched and found this was an issue with people over the 2017-2019 years. To make it worse its a 5k repair job so no wonder a recall was never done by JLR motors.

The drivers side DRL has a "J" Blade that its lit while driving day or night (DRL) This "J" Blade on the driver's side is dim, and it effects the turn signal causing in my and several thousand owners with the same issue a very safety issue. JLR Jaguar Land Rover North America will NOT address this safety issue and refuses to correct the problem. To replace the light assembly will cost in excess of $6,000.00 This is again, a safety issue and its is a manufacturer defect There are several thousand folks out there with this F-Type Jaguar DRL Failure.

The car sometimes has a hard time to start engine. I have to pump the gas pedal numerous times quickly to finally get the car to start. Other times the car starts normally . Also sometimes when the engine is on and in the park position ; the engine may turn off. The auto off button has been eliminated from the problem because I turn that off; so this issue should not be associated with that component . Perhaps it’s a failing fuel pump or perhaps the valves get stuck flooding the carb making it too lean. I still have not figured out the issue but I am concerned driving the car since sometimes I won’t start .
