Jaguar's I-Pace electric vehicles have been recalled due to their batteries' fire risk.
The luxury vehicle company is recalling at least 6,000 of the EVs in the United States, citing the risk of their high-voltage batteries catching fire, according to a report.

All 2019-2024 SUV models are subject to the recall, according to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration.
Owners of the EV models are instructed to park them outside and away from structures until repairs are completed, Jaguar said.
They should charge their EVs outside and reach out to their dealers with any questions or concerns, the company added.
Dealers will replace battery modules based on need.
This recall is not the first stemming from the risk of potential battery fires.
LG Energy Solution, the South Korean manufacturer of the lithium-ion batteries, is facing an investigation from the NHTSA following at least five recalls from automakers, the report noted.
Defects, including stalling and fires, have been cited in the recalls from General Motors, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis, and Volkswagen, according to the report.
The battery-managing software is in the update process under Jaguar as the investigation continues, LG Energy Solution said.

"LG Energy Solution continues to closely work with our client Jaguar Land Rover to ensure that the investigation is concluded," the company said in a Thursday release.
At least eight cases of vehicle fires in the U.S. have been alerted to Jaguar since 2019, the report noted.
