VEHICLE MAKE/MODEL: MODEL YEAR(S):
Jaguar/XF 2010
Jaguar XK 2010
MANUFACTURER: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC.
MFR'S REPORT DATE: March 14, 2011
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 11V168000
NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: N/A
COMPONENT: Steering: Hydraulic Power Assist: Hose, Piping, and Connections
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 6,085
SUMMARY:
Jaguar is recalling certain model year 2010 XK and XF vehicles manufactured from June 27, 2009, through March 10, 2010. 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 pipes.
75
CONSEQUENCE:
Pin-holing of the PAS pipes could allow pressurized power steering fluid to leak into the under-hood and engine bay area. A loss of power steering
fluid will result in a loss of power assist steering. Also, the fluid may ignite if it comes into contact with an ignition source or a surface at sufficiently
high enough temperature, causing a vehicle fire.
REMEDY:
Dealers will replace the power steering fluid pipes with parts manufactured to the required corrosion protection specification. This service will be
performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before April 11, 2011. Owners may contact Jaguar at 1-800-452-4827.
NOTES:
Jaguar safety recall No. J018. Owners may also contact The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at
