What this recall means for you
Some replacement rear rail assemblies installed during a service repair were built with missing spot welds. These welds help give the rear rail its structural strength, so the rail may be weaker than intended.
The weakened rail may allow the rear bumper beam to detach while the vehicle is being towed, or the tow-bar assembly to detach while towing a trailer. Either event can increase the risk of a crash.
The repair is free at an authorized dealer, where the rear rail assembly will be replaced at no charge. Owners who received a recall letter mailed May 7, 2021 should contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. You can also check your VIN for open recalls to confirm whether your vehicle is affected.
