Approximately 229 vehicles in the United States and Federalized Territories. The basis of the recall population was derived the potentially affected engine serial numbers that were determined based on delivery dates of affected parts into Jaguar Land Rover’s Engine Manufacturing Centre. Affected Engine serial numbers were then traced to specific VIN’s. Production Dates : OCT 27, 2022 – NOV 24, 2022 VIN Range 1 : Begin : SADCT2FU9PA710906 End : SADCT2FU2PA713369 Not sequential Description of Defect : Description of the Defect : A concern has been identified on certain 2023 Model Year 3.0L AJ20-P6 Jaguar F-Pace vehicles where in a small number of engines the cam carrier oil gallery hasn’t been fully drilled. As a result, the oil channel could be blocked, leading to accumulation of oil against the pressure control valve rubber membrane, and subsequently an external oil leak or increased oil carryover into the air intake system. FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : In the event of a blockage, oil can accumulate against the engine pressure control valve rubber membrane, and subsequently an external oil leak or increased oil carryover into the air intake system can occur. An external oil leak may lead to an engine bay fire. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-045 Page 2 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Description of the Cause : NR Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : NR Involved Components : Component Name 1 : AJ20 P6 CAM Carrier Component Description : AJ20 P6 CAM Carrier Component Part Number : J6P3-6J011-AF Supplier Identification : Component Manufacturer Name : Ryobi Aluminium Casting (UK) LTD Address : Trooperslane Industrial Estate 5 Meadowbank Road Antrim, Carrickfergus Foreign States BT38 8YF Country : United Kingdom Chronology : Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) received a report from Ryobi Aluminium Casting (UK) LTD, on November 23, 2022 that an oil channel had not been correctly drilled on a small number of engine cam carriers manufactured and supplied to JLR for installation on JLR’s 6-cylinder petrol engines. On November 25, 2022, Nitra and Solihull vehicle assembly plants initiated a stop-shipment. Affected engines and vehicles were inspected to identify potentially affected units. As a result of the stop-shipment, it was identified that vehicles had gone beyond plant control and an update prior to sale was issued to instruct markets to hold vehicles, inspect the condition and if ok release for onward distribution. Following this, an investigation was opened at the Product Safety & Compliance Committee (PSCC). The PSCC requested the Supplier Technical Assistance Team (STA) to fully define the scope of this issue. At the PSCC on December 07, 2023, the STA team reported their initial findings, and the Engineering Team was requested to fully assess the impact of the incorrect drilling that had been reported by the supplier. During December, the Engineering Team carried out physical engine testing with an incorrectly machined Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-045 Page 3 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 component and reported their findings to the PSCC. At the PSCC of January 24, 2023, the scope of the issue was finalized, and the consequences of the incorrect drilling was confirmed.
