JAGUAR & LAND ROVER DEsign Defect Results in ENGINE FAILURE

Investigation of Defective Coolant System Part in Jaguar & Land Rover Vehicles (2013-2017)

 Our firm is actively investigating a potential design defect claim against Jaguar and Land Rover concerning vehicles produced between 2013 and 2017. The focus of this inquiry is a defective part located in the coolant system, referred to as the transfer pipe, Y-pipe, or cross-engine transfer pipe.


In 2013, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) replaced the original metal transfer pipe with a fused plastic part. While the use of bonded plastic components may be standard in other vehicles, JLR’s aluminum engines are particularly vulnerable to catastrophic failure when paired with this inferior design. When the plastic pipe ruptures—often while the vehicle is traveling at high speeds—it dumps hot coolant onto the aluminum engine. This sudden coolant release leads to severe damage, including warped engine heads and the disintegration of head gaskets. In some cases, the steering column may also lock up, compounding the danger.


Despite knowing about the defect, JLR did not issue a recall or notify owners. Instead, they only addressed the issue after customers reported a “coolant low” warning. JLR's response has been to charge owners exorbitant fees for diagnostics and repairs, often pushing them toward purchasing a new engine at a cost of up to $32,000.


If you or someone you know has experienced these issues or possesses knowledge about this defect, we encourage you to contact us. We are gathering critical information from individuals affected by this dangerous flaw as part of our investigation. Your experience can help hold JLR accountable and potentially save others from catastrophic harm.
