Jaguar Land Rover North America has announced a recall of approximately 1,589 sedans due to a loose hose clamp for the Charge Air Cooler (CAC).
This is a recall expansion of the 940 XF hose clip problems from August 2013.
Which Jaguar models are affected by the recall?
Model year 2013-2014 Jaguar XF sedans equipped with the 2.0-liter engine, manufactured between May 2013 and October 2013.
What causes the stalling, loss of steering and brakes?
The hose clip for the CAC may be out of position and become loose and detached, which could lead to engine stalling and loss of steering and/or brake control. This can increase the likelihood of a crash.
Are there any known accidents attributed to the defect?
At this time, since the original recall, no known new accidents or complaints have been reported by Jaguar Land Rover attributing to the defect.
What do I do if my car is one of those affected?
Jaguar Land Rover will be notifying all owners affected by the recall in May 2013. The CAC hose clamp will be inspected to make sure it is tight and in the correct position. This will be free of charge.
