High-voltage battery: overheating and fire risk (recalls)
Manufacturer recallSeveral recall campaigns have concerned the traction battery for overheating risk that can go as far as smoke or fire; 2019 models deserve particular attention (Fiches-auto). In the United States, a recall covers 2019 to 2024 model year I-Paces, with a software update to the battery control module and free replacement of the module if needed (Motor1). Jaguar also bought back 2,760 units from 2019 in North America after five recalls without a definitive fix (Fiches-auto). An Australian recall from 2024 (2018-2019 models) temporarily limits charging to 75% (GoAuto). Check that the recalls are closed for the serial number.
Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).
