What's wrong?
The instrument cluster in the 2017-2018 Jaguar F-Pace is the driver display behind the steering wheel. It uses a Thin Film Transistor screen to show information such as vehicle speed, warning lights, and other status messages. The cluster is part of the electrical system, so its software has to keep that display active while the SUV is being driven.
On affected F-Pace SUVs, the instrument cluster screen can go blank during a drive and then recover after a period of time. When that happens, the driver loses the normal dashboard view instead of seeing a steady readout. This recall treats the problem as a software issue in the instrument cluster, with updated software identified as the correction.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is the display going blank while driving, then coming back later, so an owner sees the failure only when the cluster stops showing information.
Who's affected?
The scope spans the 2017 and 2018 F-Pace, with both electrical system software and instrument panel components listed.
| 2018 Jaguar F-Pace | electrical system software |
|---|---|
| 2018 Jaguar F-Pace | instrument panel |
| 2017 Jaguar F-Pace | electrical system software |
| 2017 Jaguar F-Pace | instrument panel |

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
A blank instrument cluster hides speed and other important driving information, which increases the risk of a crash. If the display goes blank, slow down, move out of traffic when safe, and schedule the software update soon. Repair is free at any franchised Jaguar dealer.
