Jaguar Land Rover filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Feb 9, 2024, received Mar 6, 2024, about the engine. It names 22 model years across Land Rover and Jaguar (2016–2020).

Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Jaguar Land Rover SFCC_FEB2024_35 a recall?
No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the SFCC_FEB2024_35 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way.
Which vehicles does SFCC_FEB2024_35 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 22 model years across 2 brands (Land Rover and Jaguar): 2020 Jaguar F-Pace, 2019 Jaguar F-Pace, 2018 Jaguar F-Pace, 2017 Jaguar F-Pace, 2019 Jaguar XE, 2018 Jaguar XE and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
