    Jaguar Land Rover North America, LCC (Jaguar) is recalling one 2016 Jaguar F-Type vehicle manufactured February 3, 2015. 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.

    Consequence

    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.

    Remedy

    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. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is J055.

25. Power steering may cause unexpected inputs

    Reported September 10, 2015Model years 2015DVSA recall R/2015/181EU Safety Gate A12/0766/158 vehicles affected

    If another power steering fault occurs while the system is in factory operating mode, it may make unexpected steering inputs that could cause the driver to lose control. The remedy is to check the software and update it if needed, or replace the steering rack where the vehicle cannot be accessed for the software update.

    Official DVSA recall text

    Component

    LOSS OF CONTROL

    Defect

    The electric power steering system may still be set in the factory operating mode. In this condition where another defect arises with the electric power steering system the driver may experience additional unexpected steering inputs from the electric power steering system. These additional system generated steering inputs may exceed the ability of a normal driver who may lose vehicle control with no warning. This can increase the risk of a crash.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to either 1. inspect the electronic power steering software version and where necessary download the correct software or 2. where the vehicle is not accessible to the supplier due to logistical reasons the dealer will replace the steering rack with a steering rack built to the correct specification.

26. Incorrect rear anti-roll bar may cause loss of control

    Reported June 30, 2015Model years 2014–2015DVSA recall R/2015/11589 vehicles affected

    Official DVSA recall text

    Component

    LOSS OF CONTROL

    Defect

    Anti-Roll bars of incorrect specification have been fitted to vehicles equipped with All Wheel Drive (AWD) with Constantly Variable Damping (CVD). In this mis-built condition at the extremes of adhesion and in an over steer situation the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system will not mitigate the over steer. The drivers will most likely loose vehicle control of the vehicle. This can increase the risk of a crash.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the rear Anti-roll bar with the correct specification component.

27. Vehicle may become unstable at high speeds

    Reported November 10, 2014Model years 2014DVSA recall R/2014/090EU Safety Gate A12/1264/14102 vehicles affected

    If the rear spoiler does not deploy, engine management software may fail to limit vehicle speed to 137mph. This could affect stability. New software will be installed.

    Official DVSA recall text

    Component

    VEHICLE MAY BECOME UNSTABLE AT HIGH SPEEDS

    Defect

    Due to an issue with the software in the engine management system (EMS) it is possible that the EMS will not restrict the vehicle speed to 137mph if the Deployable Rear Spoiler (DRS) does not deploy when it should . This can affect vehicle stability; although this should not affect vehicles used in the UK due to the National Speed Limit however it could affect vehicles that travel to Europe or are used on private grounds.

    Remedy

28. Passenger airbag may not be suppressed

    Reported November 7, 2014Model years 2014–2015NHTSA campaign 14V7140007,079 vehicles affected

    Incorrect wiring of the seatbelt tension sensor may prevent the passenger airbag from being suppressed for a child restraint or small adult. The airbag could deploy in a crash and increase injury risk. Dealers will correct the wiring free of charge.

    ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING

    Defect

    Jaguar Land Rover North America LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 F-TYPE vehicles manufactured August 31, 2012, to October 22, 2014. In the affected vehicles the seatbelt harness connector which connects the Seatbelt Tension Sensor (STS) to the Occupant Classification Sensor Control Module (OCSCM) may not have been correctly wired. The OCSCM senses whether there is an occupant in the front passenger seating position, and the STS senses whether tension on the seatbelt indicates a child restraint is being used in the front passenger seating position. Both sensors provide information to the restraint control module (RCM) which informs whether the front passenger airbag should be activated, depending on whether the sensors detect the seat is occupied and/or that it is occupied by an adult passenger.

    Consequence

    Should the STS not have been wired correctly, the front passenger air bag may not be suppressed, and may remain activated, even when a child restraint is placed in the front passenger seat or a small statured adult occupies that seat. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the front passenger air bag, a child or small stature occupant may be at an increased risk of injury.

    Remedy

    Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will correct the harness connector wire configuration, free of charge. The recall began on December 3, 2014. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is J047.

    Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

29. Alternator cable may loosen and raise fire risk

    Reported October 27, 2014Model years 2014DVSA recall R/2014/145EU Safety Gate A12/1786/147,836 vehicles affected

    A loose alternator cable fixing may increase fire risk. Failed engine accessory fixings could also cause loss of steering assistance. The front accessory fixings will be inspected and tightened to specification.

    Official DVSA recall text

    Component

    RISK OF FIRE

    Defect

    The positive cable fixing to the alternator may come loose and lead to an elevated risk of fire. Additionally there are concerns raised regarding the fixings for the engine mounted belt driven ancillaries. If the fixings fail power assistance to the steering can be lost and more input from the driver will be required to steer the vehicle.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and torque the front ancillary fixings to the correct specification.

30. Engine components may detach

    Reported October 27, 2014Model years 2015NHTSA campaign 14V673000272 vehicles affected

    The accessory drive belt, power steering pump pulley or alternator battery cable may detach. A loose cable can cause an electrical short and fire; a detached belt can cause loss of power steering and increase crash risk. Dealers will inspect and correct the components free of charge.

    ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR

    Defect

    Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain 2015 F-TYPE vehicles manufactured August 25, 2014, to September 12, 2014, 2015 XF vehicles manufactured September 3, 2014, to September 12, 2014, and 2015 XJ vehicles manufactured August 21, 2014, to September 11, 2014. 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.

    Consequence

    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.

    Remedy

    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. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is J044.
