Details

What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, the front end accessory drive (fead) belt, power assisted steering (pas) pump pulley and/or battery positive cable at the alternator may detach.

Why it matters: If the battery positive cable loosens, an electrical short may result, increasing the risk of a fire. If the fead belt looses or detaches, the vehicle may lose power assisted steering, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Jaguar has notified owners, and dealers will inspect the affected engine mounted components for the proper threading and torque, correcting them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began November 10, 2014.
