What owners report

The vehicle then began running noticeably rougher and developed a rattling noise every time the engine is started. The repair facility recommended approximately upper timing-chain-related repairs, which I declined.
Subject: 2019 Jaguar XE – Recall H535 Did Not Restore Rear Camera Function I own a 2019 Jaguar XE that experienced rear-view camera failure consistent with Recall H535 regarding rear camera wiring issues. My rear camera stopped functioning before recall service, which is why I brought the vehicle to the dealer.
On July 11th, 2025, the check engine light came on, prompting me to drive straight to the Jaguar dealership for diagnostic evaluation. Upon inspection, I was informed that I needed a new timing chain, sprockets, and coolant pump.
No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the back-over prevention camera wiring harness. The vehicle was not repaired.
The contact stated that while reversing, the rearview camera image failed to appear on the display. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the contact was informed that a fee would be charged for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.
