Does a recall affect your Jaguar S Type?

Not every Jaguar S Type is affected. Each recall covers cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, which DVSA’s file does not list in full. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check with its registration, or ask the manufacturer or a dealer, who can check the VIN.

Recalls launched each year, 2000 to 2026

2004 had the most, with 3. A count of recalls is not a measure of safety: one recall can cover a handful of cars or tens of thousands.

2007 1 recall

Diesel particulate filter excessive heat

Launched 23 April 2007 DVSA recall R/2007/045

Defect
The diesel particulate filters (DPF) of the 2.7 litre engine may exhibit smoke and or fire from the underside of the vehicle flames emanating from within the rear exhaust tailpipe or an orange glow from the underside of the vehicle. Heat from within the DPF can radiate to the surrounding vehicle components and may lead to heating of the underside of the transmission tunnel and subsequent melting of interior components with the potential for an interior fire.
Remedy
Recalled vehicles will have the engine management control module re-programmed with the latest calibration file. The vehicle will self test for DPF blockage which where required will be replaced.

2005 1 recall

The parking function of the automatic transmission may not operate correctly

Launched 30 November 2005 DVSA recall R/2005/155 Manufacturer ref. R525

Defect
Due to the presence of an out of specification component within the automatic gearbox parking brake interlock system. The parking function may not fully engage when the operating lever is moved to park despite all indicators showing that park has been achieved. If the parking brake is not applied the vehicle may roll away if the ignition key remains in the ignition.
Remedy
Recalled vehicles will have the out of specification component replaced with a quality assured item.

Defect
The possibility exists that the electronic parking brake (EPB) may apply unintentionally which can result in the vehicle decelerating and in extreme cases cause the rear wheels locking up.
Remedy
Recall likely to be affected vehicles and replace the electronic parking brake module on those vehicles equipped with the AF level of module with one of a later level. Additionally add a link lead and wiper motor suppression module.

2000 2 recalls

Front lower suspension ball joint may fail

Launched 23 November 2000 DVSA recall R/2000/119 Manufacturer ref. R136

Defect
An under torque condition may exist in the front lower ball joint. This may result in a high bending fatigue loading of the joint which could result in a fracture of the first thread of the ball stud which then leads to separation of the lower control arm from the knuckle. This separated condition will limit steering control.
Remedy
Recall affected vehicles and check ball joint security and condition. Replace vertical link if necessary.

Seat belt buckle concern

Launched 4 October 2000 DVSA recall R/2000/089 Manufacturer ref. R134

Defect
A component within each front seat belt buckle may have received insufficient heat treatment. This may result in unintentional release of the set belt latch if it is subjected to a loading which exceeds the standard specified by EEC Regulation 16 during an accident.
Remedy
Recall vehicles and check production date codes on both front seat belt buckle assemblies. Replace all buckle assemblies falling within the affected production dates with quality assured units.

Derived statistics UK Motoring 		January 1992 to September 2026 7 recalls matched to this model 15 September 2026
  • Road vehicle recalls (DVSA numbers starting R/) whose model names match the Jaguar S Type. DVSA records some recalls under a range or chassis name we cannot match, so this list may be incomplete.
  • Vehicles affected is the number the manufacturer reported to DVSA. When one recall covers several models, DVSA often gives only the total.
  • Build dates are the periods the manufacturer gave. Some recalls have none. VINs are not shown.
  • Concerns written in capitals have been put in sentence case, and apostrophes lost in DVSA’s file have been put back. The text is otherwise DVSA’s.
