Jaguar Land Rover Cyber-Attack: Everything You Need to Know

Diagnostics, Industry News, Jaguar, Land Rover, Servicing

You may have heard about the Jaguar Land Rover cyber-attack currently disrupting their operations. At Cedar Garage, we understand how frustrating it can be when your vehicle can’t be serviced or repaired, especially at a time when reliability matters most. That’s why we want you to know we’re here to help. We are unaffected by this cyber-attack and ready to support you.

What Is Going On?

On the 1st and 2nd September 2025, Jaguar Land Rover suffered a major cyber-attack. They shut down their IT systems as a precaution, which has severely disrupted both production and dealership operations.

As a result, dealerships cannot perform diagnostics, access parts catalogues, register new vehicles, or complete service and MOT bookings. Current reports suggest these system outages could last well into October, with recovery efforts ongoing.

While access to official services is down, JLR has confirmed that no customer data has been compromised in the incident.
