Hi all,

While driving (running errands) during a heavy snowfall, I started hearing odd rubbing from the rear wheel. After some searching (I assumed some debris was in the wheel well, or something got bent in the brakes), I realized the little mud flat in front of the passenger side rear wheel got partially ripped out and was rubbing the tire. I assume it got caught while backing out of my driveway an 18" snowbank at the driveway edge from the snow plow (Mr. Plow had not arrived at my driveway yet). Things here have been messy so I have not had a chance to properly rinse off the area, but I did see the parts of the flap that are supposed to go into the holes in the frame, but I cannot tell if they are ok and just need a little prodding to get back in the hole, or the ends were ripped off and I need to replace the flap. I tried to shove it back in, but it won't go all t way, so I don't know if it is broken, needs a special tool to insert the pins, or just more enthusiasm. Anyone have a picture of what they are supposed to look like?

Thanks!

This happened to me after hitting a deep puddle on the roadside. Dealership secured and fixed under warranty. I believe it has been discussed previously a couple of yrs ago.

Rear deflector replacement

Hi. My LH rear deflector came.off, possibly on a pothole. Nothing else is damaged and I think the part number is T4K1772. Has anyone tried installing one of these? It has one clip and some tabs, looks like the tabs got ripped open. Can't find a repair manual online so no idea how hard this is to...

I did a quick search and didn't find anything in the forum (deflectors seem to have been the keyword I should have used). I took a slightly better pic. Looks like the part might be intact, if only bent a bit... I'll try to rinse the area in the garage (office, my home garage is too small to get around the car) and look at re-inserting it. I'll text my dealer to see if there is a repair note for Canada as well. Thanks!

The outer end of yours has rubbed off. You should get a new one and get the extra retainer installed. The part where the extra retainer would go is gone from yours.

Right. Did not catch that difference. Time to call Shaun (Jag service rep)...Thanks again.

Wow this forum does not cease to amaze me. Another problem solved in real time. 🍺

Just a heads up that a revised bulletin for this was released just last week. Not sure what changed, but it had stopped appearing in Topix for my vehicle until this landed:

Thank you. Looks like they removed verbiage at the beginning, removed the VIN range, and the "condition code" for warranty claim changed from DS to an asterisk. Repair procedure and parts remain the same.

1 year ago, I mentioned this same issue at the dealer, and they simply screw the deflector to fix it firmly.
No problem since then.

This issue just occurred on my car this morning. I originally heard a scratchy, static-y sound and thought it was coming from the stereo. To my ears it sound electrical, like radio static, but it remained after I turned off the stereo. I was admittedly a little concerned that might just be the sound an EV makes before it bursts into flames. The noise later changed a bit into more of a rubbing sound. I got home and looked around the tire and found the deflector loose and rotated against the tire. The outboard clip on mine was too damaged to snap back in, so I took the whole thing off. My deflector was ground short by the tire just like rcomeau's.

Interesting - I had this happen on Monday (6th) while driving. Will have the dealer take a look and install new one per the bulletin.
