2017 Jaguar F-Type

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2017 F-Type.

Body PASSENGER CARTransmission Automatic (S8)

Classified as a passenger car, the 2017 Jaguar F-Type utilizes an S8 automatic transmission and returns EPA fuel economy ratings of 20/28/23 mpg. Within the broader 2014-2021 model complaint history, this specific year logs only two owner complaints. This volume matches the lowest frequency observed in 2014, standing in contrast to the peak of eleven complaints recorded in 2016. Although two recalls were issued and the Fuel/Propulsion System represents the top complaint area, the minimal reporting suggests a stable position within the vehicle's reliability timeline.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 16,000 mi; spark plugs every 96,000 mi; coolant every 16,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 16,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2017 Jaguar F-Type marks a notable inflection point in its generation, with federal complaint volume dropping sharply to just 2 complaints—down from 11 in 2016 and below the 6–7 range seen in 2015 and 2018. Recall activity also stabilized at 2, consistent with 2014, 2019, and 2020, while Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) continued their gradual decline, reaching 393, the lowest since launch. This places 2017 in a relatively favorable position within the arc, as earlier years (2014–2016) saw higher complaint and recall variability, and later years (2018 onward) maintained steady but slightly elevated recall counts. The 2017 model’s complaints were minor and isolated to the fuel/propulsion system and engine, with no crash or fire incidents reported. The data suggests Jaguar addressed many early teething issues by this year, making the 2017 F-Type a comparatively reliable choice within the generation. **Takeaway: The 2017 is a strong used buy, offering the best balance of low complaints and recalls in the F-Type’s production run.**
