NHTSA recall 11V168000
Steering · Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The power assist steering (pas) pipes have been supplied with zinc-nickel plating that does not meet fully the corrosion protection requirements of Jaguar's engineering specification. After an extended period of time in service, corrosion of the pas pipes will occur that may lead to pin-holing of the pipe.
Why it matters: Pin-holing of the pas pipes could allow pressurized power steering fluid to leak into the under-hood and engine bay area.

The fix: Dealers will replace the power steering fluid pipes with parts manufactured to the required corrosion protection specification. This service will be performed free of charged. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before June 6, 2011.
