BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE AFFECTED
It has been identified that the right hand rear brake pipe can suffer a dynamic fouling condition on a redundant bracket on the rear subframe. If not corrected this can eventually result in the pipe wearing through. This condition will result in loss of brake fluid which will illuminate a warning light on the instrument panel. However there is the possibility of the reduction of braking effluence due to the loss of one brake circuit and possible instability of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles to check the brake pipe and manipulate the redundant bracket on the rear subframe. If the brake pipe is found to be damaged then the brake pipe will be replaced.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY BE COMPROMISED
A concern has been identified where in the event of prolonged aggressive driving it is possible that the rear toe link will separate from the rear sub-frame. In this event vehicle stability will be compromised and degree of directional control minimised which increases the risk of an accident.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the nut and washer assembly on the rear toe link with components of revised design.

FIRE MAY OCCUR
It is possible that a leak can occur between the injector spill rail connection and the plastic fuel return pipe. This can cause leakage of fuel which can either pool on the engine cylinder head and then become deposited onto the road surface where it could cause a skid risk to other motorist or if the fuel comes into contact with extremely hot engine components an exhaust manifold for instance it is possible that an under bonnet fire could ensue.
Recall all affected vehicles inspect the fuel spill rail/return pipe and if required replace the spill rail with a new modified rail.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
It has been established that the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) hoses and resonator pipe have not been assembled to the correct specification. It is therefore possible that under certain conditions the CAC hose can detach from the resonator. This could result in the engine cutting out and possible loss of vacuum assistance for the brake servo.
Recall the affected vehicle and rectify the issue.

ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
A fault could cause the fuel tank fuel pump to stop working. This will cause fuel starvation to the engine and will result in the engine cutting out without warning.
Fitting of an overlay wiring harness. The overlay wiring harness reconfigures the electrical distribution to the FPDM to utilize a relay to supply the fuel pump power feed. The relay is not affected by the in rush current drawn by the fuel pump and so ensures robust operation.
FUEL MAY LEAK
Jaguar engineers identified a crack present in the fuel outlet flange on components returned from the market. If a crack is present customers are most likely to detect fuel odour when the vehicle is static from the outside of the vehicle. However in extreme circumstances there could be a pool of fuel underneath the rear of the vehicle which in the presence of an ignition source could lead to a fire.
Replace the fuel outlet flange.
CRUISE CONTROL MAY REMAIN ENGAGED
The cruise control may not disengage if certain faults occur when the cruise control is engaged. If the same faults occur when the cruise control is not engaged it will not be possible to engage the cruise control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to update the engine management controller software.
POWER ASSISTANCE MAY BE LOST - FIRE RISK
The corrosion protection on certain power steering pipes may not be to specification. This could result in pin holes being formed which can leak power steering fluid. Should the power steering fluid contact hot surfaces there is a possibility that fire could occur.
Recalled vehicles will have the affected power assisted steering fluid pipes replaced.

Recalled vehicles will have the affected power assisted steering fluid pipes replaced.
WIPER ARM COULD DETACH
The wiper arm spindle fixings may not have been tightened sufficiently which could lead to clashing of the arms and possible detachment. Should this condition occur the wipers will not fully clear the windscreen.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the tightness of the windscreen wiper spindle fixings and where necessary tighten to specification.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
The engine may cut out due to insufficient fuel being supplied. The fuel pump relay may not be energised following an engine start up cycle in which case the in-tank fuel pump will deliver insufficient fuel for the engine to run correctly.
Recalled vehicles will be re-programmed with revised software to ensure that when the engine is running the in-tank fuel pump relay remains energised.

ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
The fuel transfer pipe in the fuel tank may be kinked or over inserted into the in-fuel tank delivery module.In either case fuel starvation may occur which leads to engine stumble cut out and the inability to restart.
Recall affected vehicles shorten fuel transfer pipe and reinsert in alternative hole in fuel delivery module.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
It has been identified that the in-tank electric fuel pump may not be correctly activated following a vehicle start up cycle. As a result it is possible that the engine may cut out whilst driving at a steady state cruising speed and the engine may not be able to be instantly re-started.
Recalled vehicles will be re-programmed with revised software to ensure that when the engine is running the in-tank fuel pump relay remains energised.
UNDER FLOOR /REAR CROSS MEMBER BRAKE PIPE CORROSION
It has been identified that a touch condition can exist between the rear under floor brake pipes rear cross member brake pipe and their unions and a noise vibration harshness pad. Where this condition existswater and detritus can collect and be held in contact causing the corrosion protection to abrade. This can lead in time to brake fluid leakage increased brake pedal travel and in some cases reduced or loss of service brake performance.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject brake pipes inspected. Those displaying red rust on the pipes or unions will be replaced.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING SPEAKER MAY NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY
It has been identified thatthe instrument cluster speaker performance may be compromised by an over aggressive waveform. Which in the worst case could cause the speaker wires to fail. Thus negating the warning sound for various driver information functions.
Recalled vehicles will have the instrument cluster reconfigured.
REAR SEAT BELT PERFORMANCE MAY BE AFFECTED
It has been identified that due to the possibility of a non conformance during production the rear seat belt D-loop assembly may not be free to rotate. In the event of a medium to high severity impact this inability of the D-loop to rotate can limit the performance of the rear seat belt system
Recalled vehicles will have the rear seat belt D- loop assemblies checked for freedom of rotation. If freedom of rotation is not present a predetermined repair will be implemented.
DRIVER SEAT SIDE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY
It has been identified that on the subject vehicles the side airbags are not defined as passenger and driver but as left and right hand. This has resulted in all vehicles being configured as left hand drive and therefore the system believes the right hand front seat to be the passenger seat. This can result in the driver's side airbag failing to deploy when required due to the system believing that the driver's seat is unoccupied.
Recalled vehicles will have the control module on all right hand drive vehicles re-configured.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER EXCESSIVE HEAT
The diesel particulate filters (DPF) of the 2.7 litre engine may exhibit smoke and or fire from the underside of the vehicle flames emanating from within the rear exhaust tailpipe or an orange glow from the underside of the vehicle. Heat from within the DPF can radiate to the surrounding vehicle components and may lead to heating of the underside of the transmission tunnel and subsequent melting of interior components with the potential for an interior fire.
Recalled vehicles will have the engine management control module re-programmed with the latest calibration file. The vehicle will self test for DPF blockage which where required will be replaced.

BRAKE FLUID MAY LEAK FROM BRAKE PIPE
Brake fluid may leak from either the right hand front or left hand front brake caliper bridge pipe
Recall affected vehicles and replace the caliper bridge pipe on all four calipers with a revised corrosion resistant pipe
ROOF GLASS MAY SHATTER
The moonroofs glass may shatter due to the reinforcement bars being incorrectly assembled.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the moonroof with a quality assured replacement.
