Jaguar’s first all-electric vehicle, the Jaguar I-Pace, is once again in the spotlight after a new safety recall in the United States. This time, the issue involves the high-voltage battery, which may overheat and, in rare cases, catch fire.

According to Jaguar Land Rover North America, the recall affects 2,278 Jaguar I-Pace electric SUVs from the 2020 and 2021 model years.

Which Vehicles Are Affected?

The recalled vehicles were built during two production periods:

• April 8, 2019, to January 8, 2020
• March 9, 2020, to June 10, 2021

Out of the total recalled vehicles:

• 1,842 units are from the 2020 model year
• 454 units are from the 2021 model year

Newer models from 2022 and later are not affected, as they use updated battery production processes.

What Is the Problem?

The issue comes from battery cells supplied by LG Energy Solution from its factory in Wroclaw, Poland.

Some battery cells may have folded anode tabs, a small internal battery component. When this happens, it can cause internal short circuits, leading to thermal overload. In simple terms, the battery can overheat, increasing the risk of fire.

Jaguar says these battery cells were made before October 2020, which is when LG introduced improvements to prevent this kind of defect.

Temporary Fix While a Permanent Solution Is Prepared

At this time, no permanent repair is ready. Instead, Jaguar will roll out a temporary software update through an over-the-air (OTA) update.

This update will:

• Limit the battery’s maximum charge to 90%
• Reduce stress on the battery
• Lower the risk of overheating

Jaguar says a permanent fix is still under development and will be released later under a separate recall campaign.

Safety Advice for Owners

Until the software update is installed, Jaguar strongly advises owners to:

• Charge the vehicle outdoors
• Park away from buildings or structures
• Avoid charging inside garages

Owners can check their battery’s charge level using the Jaguar Remote App.

Recall Timeline

• Dealers will be notified by February 19, 2026
• Customer notification letters will be sent by April 3, 2026

Jaguar is managing this recall using multiple internal campaign codes:

• H570 – earlier models
• H571 – 2021 models
• H572 – future permanent repair

I-Pace Production Has Ended, But Sales Continue

Even though Jaguar stopped producing the I-Pace in December 2024, the vehicle is still listed for sale in the U.S.

As of February 2026:

• Only one trim level is available
• The R-Dynamic HSE EV400
• Starting price: $72,500 (before taxes and options)

The I-Pace delivers:

• 394 horsepower
• 0–60 mph in about 4.5 seconds

Driving Range Concerns

The electric range of the I-Pace has always been a concern for buyers:

• 246 miles with 20-inch wheels
• 217 miles with 22-inch wheels

With the new software limiting the battery to 90% charge, the real-world range will be even lower, which may disappoint current owners. See more Photos

What’s Next for Jaguar’s Electric Future?

Jaguar is preparing to move beyond the I-Pace. Later this summer, the brand is expected to reveal a new electric grand tourer, inspired by the Type 00 concept.

The upcoming model is expected to offer:

• Around 430 miles of EPA range
• A three-motor setup
• A completely different design with a long hood and bold rear styling

This marks a major shift in Jaguar’s electric strategy, moving away from crossovers toward high-performance luxury EVs.
