Recall 17V341 affects 19 2018 Jaguar F-Type vehicles because failed turn signals lack faster alerts. Software update is free at any franchised Jaguar dealer.
Jaguar is recalling 19 2018 F-Type vehicles with Highline headlamps because a failed front turn signal does not trigger the required faster flash or chime. Without that warning, the driver can miss the failure and other drivers will not see the turn signal, increasing crash risk; Jaguar dealers will complete the recall repair free of charge.

What's wrong?
The front turn signal indicators on the 2018 Jaguar F-Type with Highline headlamps are the lamps that tell other drivers you are turning or changing lanes. The car also has a reminder system inside the cabin: the dash indicator flashes and the audible tick-tock sounds while the signal is on. When an outside turn signal lamp fails, that reminder is supposed to speed up so the driver knows the lamp is out.
On affected F-Type vehicles, a failure in a front turn signal indicator LED does not trigger that faster flash or faster chime. The outside lamp can stop working, but the cabin reminder stays at its normal pace. That creates a compliance problem with the lighting rules because the driver does not get the required lamp-failure warning.
What you notice is the absence of a warning. The dash indicator and tick-tock sound stay unchanged, so the driver is not alerted if one or both front turn signal indicator lamps have failed.

What's the safety risk?
A failed front turn signal can leave other drivers unaware that the F-Type is turning, which increases crash risk. The normal flash rate and tick-tock sound do not change, so the driver does not get the usual warning. Schedule the software update soon. Repair is free at any franchised Jaguar dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2018 Jaguar F-Type is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Jaguar dealer to schedule the free software update that restores the required turn-signal flash and chime warning.
- Bring the recall notice if Jaguar mailed one. If not, reference recall number 17V341 when you call.
- Use extra caution with turn signals until the software update is complete; confirm the signal works before turning or changing lanes.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jaguar technician updates the vehicle's software so the turn signal reminder system works as required when a front indicator stops working. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered by Jaguar. If you already paid for a related software or lighting system repair before the recall notice, Jaguar's standard reimbursement plan covers eligible documented expenses. Bring the repair invoice and proof of payment to the service desk, or ask Jaguar customer service how to submit the paperwork.
