My car prior to the iX was the Jaguar i-Pace. Really loved how that car handled. But it had this problem where for a lot of people, after a while it would basically put itself into Park (while driving) and couldn't get out of it. Turns out they didn't put enough slack into one of the cables that went to the pall lock actuator, and the torque of the motor under heavy acceleration caused the wires to rip out of the connector. They issued a TSB (not a recall), so if it happened the dealerships would know how to repair it, but no warranty extension. The repair required dismantling the entire front end. So basically they incentivized do acceleration runs from a stop so it would break under warranty.
