Despite being in production for nearly six years, the Jaguar I-Pace, the marque’s first electric vehicle, continues to face recalls due to various issues. The most recent recall affects 2021 to 2024 models produced by contract manufacturer Magna Steyr between March 9, 2020, and December 15, 2023.
The recall addresses a turn signal malfunction, where the flash rate frequency fails to adjust when a turn signal stops working, posing a safety risk and violating Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108. Jaguar Land Rover initiated an investigation into the matter on January 3, 2024, following a field report.
Upon identifying the issue, Jaguar Land Rover determined that affected vehicles require an update to the configuration file setting related to turn signal failure. Recalled vehicles, totaling 2,015 units, will undergo this update, with dealers notified on March 7 and owners receiving notifications by April 12.
Despite the recall, the I-Pace faces challenges in the market, particularly concerning its driving range compared to competitors such as Rivian’s R1S and Tesla’s Model X.
Jaguar’s transition to an all-electric lineup by 2025 signals the end of I-Pace production, paving the way for future electric models built on the Jaguar Electrified Architecture platform.
