- Issue
- Multiple overlapping campaigns addressing high-voltage battery thermal risk. UK DVSA campaigns include R/2023/154 (battery pack thermal overload, ~26,000 units), R/2024/120 (battery pack replacement or vehicle re-acquisition for early cells built on or before 31 May 2018), and R/2026/052 (2019–2021 model years, interim 90% state-of-charge restriction pending a permanent remedy). Software-imposed charging limits persist for many owners following recall work.
Summary
The Jaguar I-PACE has been subject to multiple overlapping recall campaigns addressing high-voltage battery thermal risk. Unlike a single discrete recall, the I-PACE situation has evolved across several distinct campaigns, each with its own repair scope and residual consumer impact.
Timeline
Campaign activity began in 2020 with software-based charging limits imposed as an interim mitigation. Subsequent campaigns in 2022 and 2023 addressed specific cell batches and expanded the affected population. A notable feature of these campaigns is that software-imposed charging limits have persisted for many owners after the recall work was reported as completed.
Consumer impact
Owners report reduced maximum charge levels, derated DC fast-charging speeds, and occasional thermal-event warnings following campaign work. Combined with a contracting certified-service footprint in North America, the consumer experience has been difficult to navigate. Owners pursuing escalation should retain all campaign-completion documentation and request battery management system log extractions at each service visit — the log record is what substantiates a persistent-defect claim.
Help other owners — file with the regulator
If your vehicle is affected by this defect, filing a complaint with NHTSA, Transport Canada, DVSA, or your regional regulator helps build the data record. Each report contributes to pattern detection that can trigger formal investigations and recalls — protecting other owners of the same vehicle, not just you.
You can file at any time, even if your dealer or manufacturer is already handling repairs. The regulatory complaint is a separate channel that helps every owner of your vehicle.
Verify your vehicle with the regulator
