Details

What's wrong: The hose clamp for the charge air cooler (cac) hose may be out of position and loose, allowing the hose to detach.

Why it matters: If the cac hose detaches, the engine may stall, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, steering and brake assistance may be lost further increasing the risk.

The fix: Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the cac hose to make sure its clamp is in the correct position and tight, free of charge. The recall is scheduled to begin in late May 2014.
