My 2020 Defender has had three incidences of the windshield cracking due to the smallest pebble. The first two cracks, I had professionally sealed.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Jaguar Land Rover SFCC_SEP2023_45 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_SEP2023_45 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_SEP2023_45 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 44 model years across 2 brands (Land Rover and Jaguar): 2023 Jaguar E-Pace, 2021 Jaguar E-Pace, 2020 Jaguar E-Pace, 2019 Jaguar E-Pace, 2023 Jaguar F-Pace, 2022 Jaguar F-Pace and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
