Jaguar Land Rover North America has issued a recall for the E-Pace, manufactured between 2021 and 2024. A total of 2,842 vehicles could be affected under the recall, which the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says is due to a faulty brake pad wear warning light.

In an official statement, the NHTSA said, “Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain 2021-2024 E-Pace vehicles. The brake pad wear warning light may not appear on the instrument cluster as intended, failing to warn the driver that the brake pads are worn out.”

“As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 135, “Light Vehicle Brake Systems.”

The statement further added that “Dealers will update the car configuration file software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on May 10, 2024. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar’s number for this recall is H481.”
