EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL · Campaign 17V341000 · May 26, 2017
Defect: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain 2018 Jaguar F-TYPE vehicles equipped with Highline headlamps. If a front turn signal indicator stops working, the visual and audible turn signal reminders do not flash or chime faster as required.
