This campaign is valid for two years only. Repairs must be completed prior to the expiry date at the top of

DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE
A potential concern has been identified on specific vehicles within the above vehicle range.
On certain 2023 and 2024 model year Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) Jaguar vehicles the Belt Integrated Starter Generator
(BISG) goes into fail safe mode on first startup, resulting in no charging of the 48V and 12V battery. The SGCM needs to be updated
to enhance the software and prevent the BISG from going into fail safe mode.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
At the next opportunity, you are requested to repair the vehicle.
Following procedures appropriate to your market and as required by local legislation, owners of affected vehicles should be
contacted requesting that the owner contact their nearest retailer/authorized repairer as soon as possible to arrange for the repair to
be completed. The National Sales Companies (NSCs), Importer, Regional Office or Government agency will contact the customers. If
you have any questions about this process, contact your NSC/Importer or Regional Office for more information.
Check the JLR Warranty Portal to make sure affected vehicles are correctly identified prior to starting this campaign. The Warranty
Portal will be updated to reflect only those vehicles affected.
An owner may indicate that a repair has already been completed for this concern, in which case the full cost of the repair should be
reimbursed. Refer to the warranty section of this campaign for details of the Customer Reimbursement and Related Damage
Process. At the time of confirming a booking for a vehicle repair, make sure you check the Warranty Portal to confirm if there are any
other outstanding campaigns, to make sure the correct parts are available and adequate workshop time is allocated for repairs to be
completed in one visit.
FOR THE ATTENTION OF NORTH AMERICAN TERRITORIES ONLY:
Visit the British Brands Sales Suite (BBSS) website for a list of affected vehicles at your retailer/authorized repairer. Unsold vehicles
must be repaired prior to handover of the vehicle for retail sale.

Yours faithfully
