The National Consumer Commission (NCC) is notifying consumers about product recalls of certain Jaguar Land Rover Defender and I-PACE vehicles, as notified by Jaguar Land Rover Limited (Jaguar). The recalls are due to potential defects that may affect vehicle safety systems and battery performance.
LAND ROVER DEFENDER VEHICLES
Jaguar informed the NCC that they are recalling certain 2026 Model Year Land Rover Defender vehicles which were made available for sale between 3 November 2025 and 21 February 2026 and sold nationally through authorised dealerships, affecting 60 (Sixty) vehicles.
According to the supplier, the third-row lower seat belt anchorage bracket may contain a weld stud of insufficient strength due to material contamination during manufacturing. This defect could prevent the seat belt from working correctly in a crash, increasing the risk of injury to occupants.
JAGUAR I-PACE VEHICLES
Jaguar is also recalling certain 2019 to 2021 Model Year Jaguar I-PACE that were sold nationally between 23 June 2017 and 18 June 2021, affecting 67 (Sixty-seven) vehicles. The supplier has identified a potential issue affecting the high-voltage traction battery pack. In certain circumstances, the battery may experience thermal overload which may result in smoke or fire. 2
As an interim measure, affected Jaguar I-PACE vehicles will receive a software update that restricts the maximum battery charge level to 90%. Consumers are advised to limit charging to 90%, park vehicles away from structures, and charge vehicles outdoors where possible.
Owners of the affected vehicles are urged to take their vehicles to the nearest authorised Jaguar and Land Rover dealerships for repairs. The necessary repair work will be carried out at no cost to the consumer.
