“The priority is to ensure every customer receives the highest level of care and we encourage those experiencing this issue to contact an authorised JLR repairer, who will support them,” a spokesperson for Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) stated. The company recently announced its largest recall in history, affecting over 170,000 SUVs across the United States due to a faulty electric system.
This recall encompasses models built between November 2022 and January 2024, including the popular Jaguar F-Pace, E-Pace, and various Land Rover models. The scale of this action underscores the growing complexities within the automotive industry as manufacturers pivot towards electric vehicles.
JLR’s challenges aren’t just limited to recalls. The company also faced significant revenue declines—reporting £4.5 billion in Q3, down 39% year-on-year. This downturn comes amid production hurdles exacerbated by a cyber attack that cost the UK economy approximately £1.9 billion.
Key statistics:
- The recall affects over 170,000 SUVs in the US.
- Models impacted include the Jaguar F-Pace, E-Pace, and Range Rover.
- JLR employs 33,000 people in the UK.
The government’s response has included extending a £380 million grant to Agratas for battery production—a strategic move to bolster local manufacturing capabilities. JLR has expressed commitment to maintaining its manufacturing base in the UK despite considerations about shifting production elsewhere.
