Recalls
3 vehicle recalls from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.
Electrical, Engine & cooling Vehicle recall #14V673000 · 2014 · 272 vehicles
What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, the front end accessory drive (fead) belt, power assisted steering (pas) pump pulley and/or battery positive cable at the alternator May detach.
Why it matters: If the battery positive cable loosens, an electrical short May result, increasing the risk of a fire. If the fead belt looses or detaches, the vehicle May lose power assisted steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Jaguar has notified owners, and dealers will inspect the affected engine mounted components for the proper threading and torque, correcting them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began November 10, 2014.
Brakes (hydraulic) Vehicle recall #14V741000 · 2014 · 1,571 vehicles
What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, the brake line junctions under the vehicle May leak brake fluid.
Why it matters: A brake fluid leak May reduce the vehicle's braking ability, requiring additional distance to stop the vehicle, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake line junctions, tightening them as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on January 16, 2015.
Airbags Vehicle recall #15V037000 · 2015 · 1,346 vehicles
What's wrong: The affected vehicles May have an incorrect description of the operation of occupant sensor system (oss) in the owner's manual. Since the manual does not correspond with the actual air bag status indicator lamp, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) no. 208, "occupant crash protection."
Why it matters: If the occupant does not correctly understand how air bag functions, they May be at an increased risk of personal injury in the event of a crash.
The fix: Jaguar will notify owners, and supply a supplement to add to the owner's handbook, free of charge. The recall began March 2, 2015.
