Safety investigations
NHTSA inquiries naming this vehicle. An investigation is not a finding of a defect.
Pedestrian alert sounds
NHTSA received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under ODI Number 11486072. FMVSS 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 KG or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021.On January 27, 2023, NHTSA opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified NHTSA he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by NHTSA regarding the subject matter of the petition.

I own a 2019 Jaguar I-PACE that is currently subject to a battery-related safety recall issued by the manufacturer. The defect involves the high-voltage battery system, which poses a potential fire risk and renders the vehicle unsafe to operate. Due to this recall, I have been advised that the vehicle is not safe to drive and should not be used. As a result, the vehicle is effectively unusable. This creates a safety concern because the battery defect presents a risk of thermal events, including fire, even when the vehicle is parked. The issue has been acknowledged by Jaguar Land Rover through the official recall. The vehicle has not been repaired because a complete and adequate remedy has not been made available. Jaguar Land Rover has inspected and reviewed the situation and has offered a buyback; however, the proposed resolution would leave me with approximately $10,000 in out-of-pocket financial loss despite the defect being manufacturer-related. There were no prior warning indicators that would have allowed me to prevent this issue. The problem became known upon notification of the recall. This situation has resulted in ongoing financial harm, as I am required to continue making payments on a vehicle that cannot be safely operated due to a manufacturer defect. The defective component (high-voltage battery system) is available for inspection upon request

The vehicle has experienced the Traction Battery Fault three times, which is the warning signal provided when there is a main battery fault situation. During the latest incident, the warning appeared and shortly afterward the vehicle emitted white smoke with an electrical odor and crackling from the front undercarriage. Emergency services were contacted through 911, and firefighters disconnected the 12V battery to stabilize the vehicle. Two previous traction-battery-related repair attempts were performed by Jaguar, and a third repair is currently underway. The repeated failure of the high-voltage traction battery system represents a potential fire risk and electrical hazard. I am reporting this incident to ensure NHTSA is aware of this high-voltage safety defect.

Vehicle: Jaguar I-PACE Model Year: 2019 VIN: [XXX] Mileage at incident: ~63,000 miles Dealers Involved: Jaguar Land Rover Ft. Myers (FL), Jaguar Land Rover Naples (FL) Incident Dates: June–September 2025 Complaint Summary: Between June–September 2025 my Jaguar I-PACE experienced warranty and service obstruction tied to the traction battery recall. Jaguar Land Rover Ft. Myers submitted a false warranty claim for traction battery replacement, which was denied by the insurer as excluded. At the same time, the dealer misled the ADA driver/policyholder with a “coolant pump fault” explanation, even though the A/C system was operating normally, which made that failure mechanically impossible. The dealership never provided diagnostic codes from TOPIx/Pathfinder. On [XXX], at ~63,000 miles, the I-PACE was immobilized by a 12V failure. Both Ft. Myers and Naples dealerships refused assistance, leaving an ADA driver stranded. I had to replace the 12V battery myself to restore mobility. This raised a serious safety issue, as an immobilized I-PACE cannot be moved to a safe location in the event of fire. Text messages show direct Jaguar Land Rover Corporate involvement, with Ft. Myers stating: “We started a tech case and they will not proceed until they know if it is a buyback” and “Tech assistance will not give us assistance because of the open recall for buyback.” This demonstrates corporate obstruction of warranty rights. Multiple owners reported traction battery faults from March–June 2025 before signing NDAs tied to buyback settlements. This suggests a wider pattern of recall-related service restrictions. Requested Action: NHTSA is requested to investigate Jaguar Land Rover’s handling of the I-PACE traction battery recall, including obstruction of warranty service, denial of diagnostic access, and treatment of disabled/ADA drivers. These issues may affect a large number of recalled vehicles nationwide. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

REVERSE CAMERA GRID LINES MISSING AFTER IPMB UPDATE
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
