reported issues, recalls & what to inspect
This report uses official federal safety records plus VeroRoad’s vehicle × tool evidence. It is a screening tool, not a reliability grade or prediction that your specific car will fail.
7 unique complaint records3 recall campaigns returned0 complaint rows with usable mileage10 local vehicle/tool evidence rows
NHTSA complaints are consumer-submitted allegations, not verified failures. Raw complaint totals are not failure rates because vehicle sales/exposure are not normalized here. A recall is an official safety campaign, but your VIN may or may not be included.

17V341000EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL
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 matters: 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.
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.
Reported 25/05/2017 · Verify exact VIN applicability.18V090000FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain 2018 Jaguar XE, XF, E-PACE, F-PACE and F-TYPE vehicles equipped with a 2.0L gasoline engine. The fuel rail end caps may leak, possibly resulting in fuel vapor or liquid fuel leaking into the engine bay.
Why it matters: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source such as hot engine or exhaust components can increase the risk of a fire.
Remedy: Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel rail, free of charge. The recall began on March 8, 2018. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is H081.
Reported 02/02/2018 · Verify exact VIN applicability.21V500000AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling one 2018 F-Type vehicle. A portion of the instrument panel may interfere with the front passenger air bag during deployment, possibly tearing the air bag cushion.
Why it matters: An air bag that tears on deployment can increase the risk of injury during a crash.
Remedy: A dealer will replace the instrument panel facia, free of charge. The owner notification letter was mailed August 5, 2021. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is H365.

What I would inspect before money changes hands
The highest reported component groups are converted into inspection tasks. They are not diagnoses.
Electrical & 12V system
3 owner complaints in the leading component signal intersect this system.
- 12V resting and charging voltage
- Module communication scan
- Battery age and terminal condition
- Unexpected warning lights or intermittent electrical behavior
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
2 owner complaints in the leading component signal intersect this system.
- Inspect the affected system carefully
- Scan all modules before clearing codes
- Review service history and previous repair records
Engine & powertrain
2 owner complaints in the leading component signal intersect this system.
- Cold-start behavior and idle quality
- Acceleration under light and moderate load
- Current, pending and permanent DTCs
- Freeze-frame and fuel/engine live data where available
Body & structure
1 owner complaint in the leading component signal intersect this system.
- Panel gaps and evidence of collision repair
- Door/latch operation
- Water intrusion or damaged seals
- Body-control warning messages
Suspension & chassis
1 owner complaint in the leading component signal intersect this system.
- Uneven tire wear
- Noise over bumps and during low-speed turns
- Ride-height or adaptive-suspension warnings
- Alignment and steering-center behavior
SCAN INTEGRITY CHECK
Make it harder for a recently cleared warning light to fool you.
A clean dashboard is not the same as a clean scan. Readiness monitors, pending codes and permanent codes provide useful context during a pre-purchase inspection.
- Run a full-system scan before clearing anything
- Read current, pending and permanent powertrain codes
- Check readiness monitors; multiple “Not Ready” monitors can be consistent with a recently cleared ECU or disconnected battery
- Save freeze-frame data for any stored emissions/powertrain fault
- Scan ABS, SRS, transmission and body modules when the tool supports them
- Check 12V battery / charging condition because low voltage can create misleading module faults
TSBs & MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATIONS
Look beyond recalls.
Manufacturers submit service bulletins, warranty extensions, repair instructions and other communications to NHTSA. These documents can reveal service procedures and known conditions that are not necessarily safety recalls.

SOURCE TRANSPARENCY
Where these signals come from
Federal data are fetched from NHTSA’s public APIs. VeroRoad aggregates the records into screening signals and keeps complaints separate from confirmed recalls.
