Recall 18V14000041 vehicles

Problem: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain 2018 Jaguar E-Pace vehicles. The brackets that secure the front brake hoses may not have been installed properly, allowing the front brake hoses to contact the tires, possibly resulting in a brake fluid leak.
Risk: A brake fluid leak can lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the front brake hose brackets, replacing any that do not provide sufficient clearance, free of charge. The recall began on April 16, 2018. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is H074.

Fuel/propulsion system
Fuel is leaking onto the engine and in the engine bay from the fuel rail and fuel line. I can also smell fuel inside the vehicle's cab. There is already a recall on this exact year make and model vehicle with the same engine. Somehow my vehicle did not make it to the list. My vehicle is available for inspection. My fiance, my baby, and I are at serious risk of fire if this vehicle is started. Or if there is a another means to ignite the fuel considering it is leaking non stop even with the engine off. The vehicle has not been inspected by a dealer or independent service center. The Lubbock, TX fire department was called when we initially smelled gas inside of our house. They determined that…

After the failed inspection, I took the vehicle to a separate independent mechanic, who confirmed the…

Engine
Engine fuel rail leak and Engine feed line leak. Starting the car has a raw fuel smell inside the cabin of the car. Took the car to jaguar and they said nothing was wrong. Took the car to a jaguar specialty shop and they revealed the fuel rail needed a "recall" similar to the 2017+ Jaguar F-Pace for the fuel rail, and 2 engine feed lines. Safety is put at risk by introducing fuel fumes into the cabin of the car, and leaking fuel with the possibility of detonation. The problem has been inspected by a Jaguar specialist, there aren't any warning lights or indicators outside of the fuel smell in the car. This is the same thing that happened in my 2017 Jaguar F-Pace. Same fuel smell, same issues…
