Around 2,278 of the company’s 2020 to 2021 Jaguar I-PACE vehicles are being pulled because the high-voltage battery may overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.
According to NHTSA documents, there have been “a small number of post-recall fire incidents” reported tied to this recall. No known injuries have been reported.
While the full remedy is still under development, the NHTSA said the battery software will be updated by dealers or over the air to ensure it charges only to 90%. No incidents have been reported with this remedy.
As a note, owners should also park outside and away from structures, and charge to 90% until this repair is completed.
Interim notification letters to owners of the safety risk are expected to be mailed on April 3, the NHTSA said.
Once the final remedy is available, another letter will be sent. Jaguar’s recall numbers are H570, H571, and H572.
