2017 JAGUAR F-PACE Complaints and Recall Information
The 2017 JAGUAR F-PACE has 1 complaint and 5 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report sudden engine failure caused by a cracked Y pipe leading to coolant loss and complete engine shutdown. The complaint describes loss of power while driving and extensive engine damage requiring costly replacement.
Common Issues- Engine failure. The Y pipe cracks causing coolant to leak out and the engine to overheat and seize.
- Coolant loss. Rapid discharge of coolant results in steam from the engine and sudden engine shutdown.
- Power loss. Vehicle loses all power while driving, including limited power steering, making it difficult to move off the road safely.
- High repair cost. Replacing the engine costs over $20,000 making repair uneconomical compared to vehicle value post-failure.
- Warranty gap. Issue reportedly addressed in 2018 models but not recalled for 2017 vehicles, leaving owners at risk.
There are five recalls related to various systems including the electrical system, fuel system, and driveline. These recalls address risks such as blank instrument clusters, fuel leaks, and driveshaft separation.
Recalls- Instrument cluster software. Recall 18V052000 affects 3,002 vehicles where the instrument cluster may go blank, hiding vehicle speed and increasing crash risk. Software update fixes the problem. Notification began February 16, 2018.
- Instrument cluster panel. Recall 17V678000 affects 7,036 vehicles with an intermittent blank instrument cluster. Dealers update the software free of charge. Notification started December 19, 2017.
- Fuel pump bolt. Recall 17V491000 affects 1 vehicle where a bolt securing the high-pressure fuel pump may be too long, risking fuel line cracking and fire hazard. Replacement of fuel pumps and lines is performed. Recall began September 12, 2017.
- Driveshaft length. Recall 17V153000 affects 25 vehicles with automatic transmissions where an incorrectly sized rear driveshaft may detach, causing loss of power and crash risk. Dealers inspect and replace if necessary. Notification began May 1, 2017.
Owners dealing with repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues related to safety defects may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Consulting legal resources regarding protection options is advisable if problems persist.

2017 JAGUAR F-PACE
ID: 2082540ENGINE
our F-Pace had 120,000 miles. Worked great, very reliable, but then out of nowhere while driving the car the low coolant light came on and with in a minute the engine shut down and the car was dead. I had all I could do to get the car off the interstate with traffic behind me going 70mph. I am very lucky that I was not slammed into from behind as the car literally lost all power. I got it to the side of road with steam blowing out the engine. I called 911 and the fire department came and the police. The vehicle was then towed to the Brentwood, TN Jaguar dealer and they confirmed for $250 service fee that the engine was blown up. The Y Pipe cracked and all the coolant blew out and the engine overheated and was destroyed. They said the fix was $23-$25,000 for a new motor. Throw much research on the Jaguar forums online it is a well documented problem on the 2017 F-Paces that the Y pipe cracks leading to a discharge of the coolant leading to engine failure. It is also known that Jaguar fixed this problem on the 2018 forward models. Leaving owners of the 2017 F-Pace to literally be at the risk of engine failure at any moment. There was barely enough time for me to get the car off the road while coasting with a dead engine and limited power steering. This needs to be recall and Jaguar should be compensating those who have incurred loss. We had to sell the car to a wholesaler for $2500 because the car was worth less than the new engine cost would be to fix it.
