What's wrong?
The rear driveshaft on the 2017 Jaguar F-Pace is a metal shaft that carries turning force from the transmission area toward the rear driveline. As the vehicle moves, it keeps that power connection engaged so the driveline can transfer engine torque without slipping apart.
On affected F-Pace vehicles, Jaguar says the vehicle was built with a driveshaft specified for an XE instead of the correct F-Pace shaft. The XE shaft is shorter. In the F-Pace driveline, that shorter part does not have the intended engagement length, so the driveshaft can separate from the vehicle.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is a part-length mismatch inside the driveline, not a gradual wear problem that gives the driver a clear sound, light, or change in feel first.

Not every 2017 Jaguar F-Pace is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
A detached driveshaft causes loss of drive power, which increases crash risk. If the vehicle loses power while moving, steer out of traffic, stop in a safe place, and call the dealer for guidance before driving farther. Repair is free at any franchised Jaguar dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2017 Jaguar F-Pace is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Jaguar dealer to schedule the free driveshaft inspection and replacement if the rear driveshaft is the wrong length.
- Reference recall number 17V153 and Jaguar recall H009 when you call.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. The dealer repair is free.
- Drive cautiously until the inspection is complete, since a detached driveshaft can cause loss of drive power.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jaguar technician inspects the driveshafts on the 2017 F-Pace and checks whether the installed rear driveshaft is the correct length for the vehicle. If the driveshaft is incorrect, the dealer replaces it free of charge under the recall. Parts and labor are covered. The recall repair is available now, so included owners can schedule service with a Jaguar dealer and refer to Jaguar recall H009 when speaking with the service desk.
