Manufacturer’s campaign code

Jaguar recalled E-Pace vehicles built between 4 October 2017 and 22 December 2017. Both front brake flexi hose brackets may not be to design specification. The recall notice describes the fix as: that are likely to be affected and inspect the front brake flexi hose brackets. If the clearance is not to the required specification the technician will replace either one or both of the front brake flexi hose brackets. You won't usually pay for it.¹

What’s Wrong

Both front brake flexi hose brackets may not be to design specification. The brake flexi-hose may come into contact with the front tyres leading to chafing and ultimately a loss of brake fluid. Brake fluid loss will illuminate a red warning triangle on the instrument cluster and if sufficient brake fluid leaks out this will ultimately result in extended brake pedal travel combined with reduced braking performance and vehicle stopping distances will increase. Loss of one braking circuit could compromise vehicle stability and increase the risk of an accident.
