Equipment · 19V682000
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain 2019-2020 F-Type vehicles equipped with 18-inch rear wheels.

Risk: An incorrect tire placard label may mislead the vehicle owner to install the wrong tire size, potentially affecting vehicle handling, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tire placard label with a label that states the correct rear tire size, free of charge. The recall began October 23, 2019. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is H256.
