The F-TYPE has drawn relatively few NHTSA owner complaints, and its recalls are mostly targeted fixes. The largest cover 2014–2015 cars whose passenger air bag suppression wiring may be wrong (14V-714, and 19V-326 for cars the first repair missed), 2017 seat belt pretensioners, a 2020 ABS and stability-control start-up check, and a 2019 V6/V8 crankshaft pulley bolt.
CarWhere lists 9 documented F-TYPE issues, including 9 NHTSA safety recalls, each with affected years, powertrains, symptoms, pre-purchase checks and a source. Recall entries come from NHTSA's recall dataset on the DOT open-data portal, which may not list every campaign, so run the specific VIN through NHTSA's recall lookup.
