SECTION: 211
Safety Recall: Power Assisted Steering Pipe Corrosion Protection
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
XF (X250) VIN: R59582 - R78198
Model Year: 2010
XK (X150) VIN: B35327 - B38302
Model Year: 2010
CONDITION SUMMARY:
Situation:
A concern has been identified with certain 2010 model year Jaguar XF and XK vehicles within the above VIN ranges where the Power Assisted
Steering (PAS) pipes have been supplied with zinc-nickel plating that does not fully meet the corrosion protection requirements of Jaguars
engineering specification. After an extended period of time in service, corrosion of the PAS pipes will occur; this may lead to pin-holing of the pipe.
Pin-holing of PAS pipes could allow pressurized PAS fluid to leak into the underhood and engine bay area. Loss of PAS fluid will cause PAS system
noise and loss of power assisted steering; steering control is fully maintained in an unassisted state. It is also possible that the PAS fluid may ignite if
it comes into contact with an ignition source or a surface of sufficiently high enough temperature.
Action:
Dealers are required to HOLD all affected new vehicles in your control and withhold them from onward distribution pending completion of the
rework action. Refer to the Repair Procedure outlined below to replace the affected PAS system hose(s). For vehicles in dealer inventory, this Recall
action should be performed prior to completing the Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) and must be completed prior to vehicle handover to the customer.
Vehicles already in the hands of owners should be updated at the next available opportunity. At the time of customer appointment, ensure that all
outstanding service campaigns for each individual vehicle are identified and allocate sufficient time and resources to complete all campaigns.
For Recall notification details, refer to Service Bulletins 7-65CAN and 7-65USA.
