DECEMBER 2009 -
Jaguar Land Rover is
recalling certain model year
2010 Range Rover vehicles
for failing to comply with
the requirements of Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No. 208, "Occupant
Crash Protection." These
vehicles equipped with
occupant classification
system (OCS) may experience
airbag warning lamp
illumination on the
instrument cluster. The
passenger airbag will be
disabled when the airbag
warning lamp is illuminated
as a result of this defect
and the passenger airbag
warning disable (PAWD) lamp
in the overhead console will
also illuminate. Deployment
of the passenger airbag may
not be achieved in the event
of a vehicle crash
increasing the risk of
injury. Dealer will update
the vehicle's restraints
control module (RCM) with
the integrated diagnostics
system (IDS) tool with
software from DVD 118.5
patch 16 or later. This
service will be performed
free of charge. The safety
recall began on December 21,
2009. . 09V-467
NOVEMBER 2009 -- Jaguar is recalling certain
model year 2010 vehicles.
The fuel transfer pipe in
the fuel tank may be kinked.
This may restricts fuel
being transferred from one
side of the fuel tank to the
fuel pump causing fuel
starvation at low fuel
levels. Fuel starvation to
the engine can cause the
engine to stall without
warning and could
potentially cause a crash.
Dealers will have the fuel
tank assembly repaired free
of charge. The safety recall
began on November 30, 2009.
09V-424
AUGUST 2009
-- Jaguar is recalling 34
model year 2010 XF vehicles
for failing to conform to
the requirements of Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No. 110, "Tire
Selection and Rims." The
recommended tire pressure on
the tire placard label does
not correspond with the
tires fitted to the vehicle.
Customers may inflate tires
to an incorrect pressure due
to this tire pressure
mislabeling. Failure to
inflate tires to the correct
pressures can lead to loss
of vehicle stability and
increase the risk of a
crash. Dealers will be
instructed to inspect the
tire placard label. If the
recommended pressure on the
tire placard label does not
correspond with the tires
fitted to the vehicle, that
label will be removed and
replaced with a label
stating the correct
recommended tire pressure.
This service will be
performed free of charge.
The recall began on August
19, 2009. Jaguar's recall
campaign number J014.
09V-316
MAY 2009 --
Jaguar is recalling 112
MY 2007-2009 XK vehicles
fitted with run flat tires
for failing to comply with
the requirements of Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No.138, "Tire
Pressure Monitoring System,
(TPMS)." The TPMS warnings
were turned off. If the TPMS
electronic control unit were
to send a signal to the
instrument cluster to
display a TPMS warning
telltale, the light would
not illuminate nor would the
supplementary warning text
on the instrument cluster
message center be displayed.
Failure to warn of tire
deflations is a
non-compliance with FMVSS
138 and could lead to tire
failure and a crash. Dealers
will update the car
configuration file settings
to enable the instrument
cluster to flag the warning
symbols as required by FMVSS
138 and associated test in
the instrument cluster
message center. The remedy
will be performed free of
charge. The recall is
expected to begin on or
before June 8, 2009. Owners
may contact Jaguar at
1-201-818-8500
09V-161
APRIL 2009 --
Jaguar is
recalling 14,493 MY 2004 XJ
vehicles. A potential
concern has been identified
with the installation of a
Noise Vibration and
Harshness (NVH) pad fitted
to the under tray and its
interaction with the rear
under floor brake pipes,
rear cross member brake
pipes, and their unions. A
review of vehicle build
conditions provides evidence
that a touch condition can
exist between the under
floor and cross member brake
pipes and the NVH pad at the
rear of the under floor
under tray. Where the touch
condition exists, water and
dirt can collect and be held
in contact with the pipes
and their unions, abrade the
corrosion protection and
reduce the corrosion life of
the pipes accordingly.
Corrosion of the brake pipes
can lead to a loss of
mechanical integrity of the
braking system. This can
result in extended brake
pedal travel combined with
reduced braking performance
in the corresponding brake
circuit. The instrument
cluster may display the
warning message 'fluid level
low', along with the brake
warning lamp being
illuminated. In the event of
both braking circuits losing
integrity at the same time,
complete loss of service
brakes will occur, thereby
potentially causing a
vehicle crash. Dealers will
remove the under tray at the
rear of the vehicle and
remove and discard the NVH
pad fitted to the rear of
the under tray. Dealers will
inspect the rear under floor
and rear cross member brake
pipes and unions for red
rust. If red rust is present
on the pipes or on the
union, the brake pipes and
union will be replaced with
new components of the same
design. This service will be
performed free of charge.
The recall is expected to
begin during May 2009.
Owners may contact Jaguar at
1-800-452-4827.
