Jaguar Recalls 2,278 I‑Pace SUVs in U.S. Over Battery Fire Risk

Owners will receive a free software update that limits charging to 90% during the recall.

Overview

  • The action covers 2020–2021 model year I‑Pace vehicles, with updates delivered by dealers or over the air.
  • Investigations point to a folded anode tab in LG Energy Solution cells made in Poland that can cause short circuits.
  • The interim remedy caps the battery’s state of charge at 90% at no cost to owners while a permanent fix is developed.
  • Supplier inspections continue on battery modules flagged by the remedy software for characteristics linked to the defect.
  • Owners are advised to park and charge outside, monitor charging, and unplug at 90%, with notification letters set to begin mailing April 3 and dealer notices starting February 19.
