Steering Vehicle recall #15V569000 · 2015 · 1 vehicles
What's wrong: The affected vehicle has the power steering system still set in the supplier's factory operating mode. In this condition, in the event of a steering system malfunction, the vehicle can experience additional steering inputs from the electric power steering system.
Why it matters: If the vehicle is in motion when this occurs, the driver May unexpectedly lose the ability to control the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Jaguar will notify the owner, and a dealer will either correct the steering system software or replace the steering rack, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin October 31, 2015.
