2015 Jaguar F-Type

The 3.0L supercharged V6 and 5.0L supercharged V8 engines develop coolant leaks from the aluminum coolant crossover tubes located at the front of the engine. The O-rings degrade over time and heat cycling, causing seepage that progresses to a significant leak. Owners notice coolant puddles under the car and low coolant warnings.

Replace the coolant crossover tube O-rings and reseal the connections. On higher-mileage examples, the tubes themselves may need replacement if corrosion or pitting is found. The supercharger nose cone seal should also be inspected for coolant weeping on V8 models. TSB JTB00371 covers this repair.

Convertible models experience hydraulic pump failure that prevents the soft top from opening or closing completely. The roof may stop mid-cycle, and a 'Roof Fault' message displays on the dash. The hydraulic fluid reservoir can develop leaks, and the front latch microswitches occasionally fail to register a locked position.

Check the hydraulic fluid level first and top off with the correct specification fluid. If the pump motor has failed, the complete hydraulic pump assembly must be replaced. Faulty microswitches in the header rail latches can be individually replaced. Jaguar TSB JTB00290 addresses convertible roof hydraulic issues.

A noticeable clunk or thud is felt through the driveline when transitioning from deceleration to acceleration, particularly at low speeds in parking maneuvers. The issue is traced to excessive backlash in the rear differential or worn driveshaft universal joint. It is more prominent on V8 models due to higher torque.

Jaguar released a differential software calibration update that modifies the electronic limited-slip differential behavior to reduce the clunk. If the noise persists, the rear differential may need new preload shims or the driveshaft center bearing and universal joints may need replacement.

The InControl Touch infotainment system becomes progressively sluggish, with touchscreen inputs taking several seconds to register. The navigation map freezes during route guidance, and Bluetooth audio streaming disconnects intermittently. The system's aging hardware struggles with software updates designed for newer platforms.

Perform a full system reset by holding the power and skip-forward buttons simultaneously. Jaguar dealers can perform a complete software reinstallation. If the head unit hardware is failing, replacement of the infotainment module is required. Upgrading to an aftermarket CarPlay-compatible unit is a popular owner solution.

Body ground straps corrode, particularly the primary ground strap from the engine to the chassis and the battery negative cable junction. This causes intermittent warning lights for ABS, traction control, tire pressure monitoring, and transmission faults. The warnings may come and go and are often worse in wet or cold weather.

Inspect and clean all ground strap connections. Replace corroded ground straps with new OEM parts and apply dielectric grease to the connections. The battery ground junction box should be checked for corrosion and replaced if pitting is found. A proper repair resolves all the cascading fault codes.

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar Land Rover) is recalling certain 2014-2015 Jaguar F-TYPE vehicles previously remedied under Recall 14V-714. The seatbelt harness connector which connects the Seatbelt Tension Sensor (STS) to the Occupant Classification Sensor Control Module (OCSCM) may not have been correctly wired. As a result, the Restraint Control Module (RCM) may not accurately detect if an adult or child is occupying the seat.

In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an incorrect classification may result in the passenger frontal air bag deploying even if there is a child in the front passenger seat, increasing their risk of injury.

Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat belt assembly and repair the seatbelt tension sensor harness as necessary, free of charge. The recall began June 3, 2019. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is H208.

Jaguar Land Rover North America LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 F-TYPE vehicles manufactured August 31, 2012, to October 22, 2014. In the affected vehicles the seatbelt harness connector which connects the Seatbelt Tension Sensor (STS) to the Occupant Classification Sensor Control Module (OCSCM) may not have been correctly wired. The OCSCM senses whether there is an occupant in the front passenger seating position, and the STS senses whether tension on the seatbelt indicates a child restraint is being used in the front passenger seating position. Both sensors provide information to the restraint control module (RCM) which informs whether the front passenger airbag should be activated, depending on whether the sensors detect the seat is occupied and/or that it is occupied by an adult passenger.

Should the STS not have been wired correctly, the front passenger air bag may not be suppressed, and may remain activated, even when a child restraint is placed in the front passenger seat or a small statured adult occupies that seat. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the front passenger air bag, a child or small stature occupant may be at an increased risk of injury.

Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will correct the harness connector wire configuration, free of charge. The recall began on December 3, 2014. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is J047.

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain 2015 F-TYPE vehicles manufactured August 25, 2014, to September 12, 2014, 2015 XF vehicles manufactured September 3, 2014, to September 12, 2014, and 2015 XJ vehicles manufactured August 21, 2014, to September 11, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the Front End Accessory Drive (FEAD) belt, Power Assisted Steering (PAS) pump pulley and/or battery positive cable at the alternator may detach.

If the battery positive cable loosens, an electrical short may result, increasing the risk of a fire. If the FEAD belt looses or detaches, the vehicle may lose power assisted steering, increasing the risk of a crash.

Jaguar has notified owners, and dealers will inspect the affected engine mounted components for the proper threading and torque, correcting them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began November 10, 2014. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is J044.
