What's wrong?
The crankshaft pulley on the 2019 Jaguar F-Pace, F-Type, and Xj helps drive belt-driven engine accessories from the front of the engine. A retaining bolt holds that pulley tight to the crankshaft, so the pulley stays aligned while the V6 or V8 gasoline engine is running.
On affected vehicles, a batch of retaining bolts was made outside specification. Surface cracks can form in the bolt and lead to hydrogen embrittlement, a condition that makes the metal brittle. As the bolt fractures over time, it stops holding the pulley in place. The pulley then oscillates, the nose of the crankshaft breaks, and the engine can lose power or fail.
Owners can see warning lights shortly before the failure, followed by loud noises and loss of engine power. The vehicle can cut out while moving and fail to restart, and a loose pulley can damage parts under the hood or become a hazard outside the vehicle.

What's the safety risk?
A failing crankshaft pulley bolt can trigger warning lights, loud engine noise, and engine power loss before engine failure. Engine failure increases the risk of a crash, especially if power drops while the vehicle is moving. If those signs appear, pull over safely and contact a Jaguar dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Jaguar dealer.

The replacement parts and labor are free under the recall. Jaguar has a general reimbursement plan on file for this campaign. If you already paid for this repair before the recall work, ask Jaguar customer service or the dealer service desk what documentation is needed for reimbursement.
