What's wrong?
The AJ20 P6 cam carrier on the 2023 Jaguar F-Pace sits at the top of the engine and supports the camshafts, the shafts that open and close the engine valves. It also contains drilled oil channels that carry engine oil to moving parts that need lubrication.
On affected F-Pace vehicles, one of those oil channels was not fully drilled during manufacturing. The blocked passage restricts oil flow through the cam carrier. That blockage can force oil out where it does not belong, create an oil leak, or send extra oil into the air intake system.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not rely on a sound, smell, dashboard light, or oil spot to decide whether the vehicle is included. The VIN and the Jaguar dealer inspection decide that.

Jaguar used its general reimbursement plan for this campaign, so owners who already paid for a related engine cam carrier or oil leak repair can ask Jaguar customer service or the dealer about documented reimbursement. Bring receipts and repair paperwork to support the claim.
