This could prevent seatbelts from functioning properly in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, 67 Jaguar I-PACE vehicles face a potential issue with the high-voltage traction battery pack. In certain circumstances, the battery could overheat, posing a risk of smoke or fire.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Owners in SA are advised to contact their authorised dealerships immediately to arrange inspections and repairs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;ChannelAfrica&#8211;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":30676,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"news-type":[26],"class_list":["post-30675","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-type-general_news","entry"],"acf":{"short_description":"Owners of the 2026 Land Rover Defender and 2019\u20132021 Jaguar I-PACE in SA have been urged to take their vehicles to the nearest authorised dealerships","published_date":"2026-04-03 07:24:12","news_description":"Owners of the 2026 Land Rover Defender and 2019\u20132021 Jaguar I-PACE in SA have been urged to take their vehicles to the nearest authorised dealerships","form_embed":"","author":"","image_caption":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.channelafrica.co.za\/channelafrica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/30675","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.channelafrica.co.za\/channelafrica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.channelafrica.co.za\/channelafrica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.channelafrica.co.za\/channelafrica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/30675\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30677,"href":"https:\/\/www.channelafrica.co.za\/channelafrica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/30675\/revisions\/30677"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.channelafrica.co.za\/channelafrica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.channelafrica.co.za\/channelafrica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"news-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.channelafrica.co.za\/channelafrica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-type?post=30675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
