Recalls
4 vehicle recalls from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.
Electrical Vehicle recall #13V340000 · 2013 · 1,989 vehicles
What's wrong: The switch in the overhead roof console also activates the power operated windows when the convertible roof is opening or closing. The switch does not move downward to close the windows. Therefore, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) no. 118, "power-operated window, partition, and roof panel systems."
Why it matters: The power windows May inadvertently be activated and pinch or injure an arm or finger.
The fix: Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the overhead roof console, free of charge. The recall began on October 1, 2013.
Suspension Vehicle recall #14V157000 · 2014 · 297 vehicles
What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, the toe links, components used to control the alignment of the rear wheels, can separate from the rear sub-frame.
Why it matters: If a toe link separates from the rear sub-frame, a loss of vehicle stability and directional control May result, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Jaguar notified owners on May 8, 2014, and dealers will replace the nut and washer assembly on the rear toe links, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin around May 27, 2014.
Equipment, Tires Vehicle recall #14V389000 · 2014 · 144 vehicles
What's wrong: 0l engine. The tire placard has incorrect information for the spare tire stating "none" for the inflation pressure of the spare wheel. Thus, these vehicles do not comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 110, "tire selection and rims for passenger cars."
Why it matters: If the recommended pressure for the spare tire is not provided, the tire May not be properly inflated which May result in its failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and, as necessary, attach a corrected tire placard label stating the tire size and pressure, free of charge. The recall began on August 29, 2014.
Exterior lights Vehicle recall #15V038000 · 2015 · 4,787 vehicles

Why it matters: If the parking lamps turn off, the vehicle will have reduced conspicuity, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will update software that controls the front side lamps, free of charge. The recall began March 5, 2015.
