Sorry if already posted but somebody on a more UK-centric forum posted that some 2L engines are to be recalled for immediate repairs, including his own...JLR should be writing to owners if your vehicle is affected (small matter of fuel leaking into the engine bay so sounds pretty serious to me! )

The fuel rail end caps may leak, possibly resulting in fuel vapor or liquid fuel leaking into the engine bay.

At the PSCC on January 09, 2018, engineering confirmed that the lack of braze on the fuel rail to end cap joint was the fuel leak path and the joint would fail at some time in the future but the failure could not be correlated to mileage or time. Further testing identified that due to the high pressure in the fuel rail and the pressure pulsation force within the system, joints not fully brazed will fatigue over varying amount of time or distance.

During January 2018, investigations with the component supplier revealed that the supplier 100% End of Line leak test would not reliably detect an inadequately brazed end cap.

 

Interesting, I heard that the F-Pace smaller engines were held up by Jaguar as well 2 months ago. Couldn't be released from dealers stock for sale, loan or anything due to the same problem. AMAZING, how they continue to throw up all over themselves. I let my F-Pace go yesterday (not a 2.0L) and it looked so beautiful, yet gave me such anxiety with issues. This was my 2nd f-Pace, and never again. However, my F-Type R is "knock wood" awesome.

Too bad on the 2.0 and I wish you all with this engine luck.

 

My car was delivered on monday and produced on april 3rd, well after the discovery of the issue at hand. As it is, I wont loose any sleep over it. The car comes with a 3 year guarantee and maintenance, which should keep me safe.
Unless the fuel sprays where it should not and then I'll go out with a bang... .. not the bang-type most man would want to go out with though...

Its inevetable that mechanics pushed to the brink - while before kept well within safety margins - will start to play up. Not only this kind of pressure-tearing of the fuel line, but also bearings and linings of zero-point-nothing sized
engines pouring out zillions of HP's can not keep for long. Either way the ICE is coming to a grinding halt in the near future, not due to lack of fuel but by the shire physical limitations of mechanical engineering and metals.

Where will the engineering turn too ; I don't know as I am not ahead of this game. I am merely a visionary as far as this concerns.

 

This thread should be cross referenced to the thread with about the F-Type with the fuel coming out of the tailpipe.

Seriously a neighbor went to buy a E-Pace and couldn't because of this recall.

Maybe a Nomex suit should be an accessory.

 

Not related - the other thread is about fuel allegedly leaking from the exhaust, whereas this is fuel leaking into the engine bay before it's got into the engine.

I don't see a link between the two.

 

Got mine on the start of mid february, gave the service a ring and they took my vin, said my car hasn't come up on their system for a recall , so good news, hoping i don't hear from them about it in the future.

 

You can also sign up for TOPIx yourself - the free subscription will allow you to check for any open service actions required for your VIN (but getting access to the documents themselves will cost ya).
