This annoys me as well. I don't want them changed to be honest. I guess I can ignore he notice.

I don't either. I guess the challenge is what happens when you drop off for service? I'm going to be taking mine in for 8k mile oil change soon (I do every 8k vs 16) and will request that they not perform the recall but not sure we'll have a choice if the lights violate U.S. spec. Will see.

Post a picture of your tail lights lit up, and I'll post mine(not covered by the recall). Let's see the difference.

So if you have a 2021 model year or newer you most likely have the brighter UK spec tail lights which do not comply with US federal regulations. I really like the tail lights and don’t want them swapped out. That being said, can we refuse the recall and instruct the dealer not to replace them? There’s absolutely zero chance of getting pulled over for something like this.

The link you provided said nothing about brighter lights but rather some ‘21’s may have a lack of illumination in the rear assembly

From what I saw, it was specific to the turn signals in my letter. I looked at mine and I think they are bright enough, but if someone gets the new lights let me know what you see as the difference. I'm guessing those who don't get the recall should also have the lights that will be swapped if mine is serviced.

In looking at mine, the turn signal is red and at the top, it's seems bright enough, but I thought my other F-pace has orange turn signals at the back. The ones above also don't look as red as mine, in fact they look at little orange but I can't really tell since it's just a picture. Can anyone post a video? I'll try to take a video of mine and post below. This video doesn't do well with the color, it is Red like the tails although it looks a little orange here.

Just picked up my SVR from a mid-interval oil change and they reviewed the vehicle for this recall. No action was taken on my 21. Asked advisor what specifically they were looking for but couldnt get much more than what’s listed in recall. In any event my tails are fine and we’re not replaced.

Same here. Went in last week. My build plaque shows 3/21. Came back that all was good no repair needed. Also got no information on how/what they checked.

Oh well, just wish they would fix the Pivi/Carplay crashes someday (soon).

Hi there,
I received a CarFax car care email report on my 21 SVR and noticed a potential recall, #H404, due to improper taillight specification. I haven't received any notice from Jaguar regarding this issue, so I'm wondering if anyone has information on the legitimacy of this recall and what exactly the problem entails.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I believe it's only certain serial # and certainly not a show stopper. Just let them catch it on your next annual service if it applies to you....
