A vehicle fire may increase the risk of serious injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users, bystanders, and/or damage to property.
What should consumers do?
Owners of affected vehicles should contact their preferred Jaguar dealer to receive an update to the Battery Energy Control Module (BECM) software using the correct service diagnostic tool and software. Jaguar requests that that owners park away from structures/property and charge the vehicle outside until further notice.
The updated software provides an enhanced level of driver warnings in relation to High Voltage battery condition. In the event the software determines a risk exists, the High Voltage battery charging capacity is temporarily limited to 75%. The warning message and associated Owners Guide instructions direct the driver to take their vehicle to a Jaguar retailer for diagnosis. Your retailer will then inspect, and if necessary, repair or replace the affected High Voltage battery module/assembly, free of charge.
