What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where component detachment can lead to fire or loss of steering, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain 2015 F-TYPE, XF, and XJ vehicles. The recall covers F-TYPE vehicles manufactured from August 25, 2014, to September 12, 2014; XF vehicles manufactured from September 3, 2014, to September 12, 2014; and XJ vehicles manufactured from August 21, 2014, to September 11, 2014.

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. If the battery positive cable loosens, an electrical short may result, increasing the risk of a fire. If the FEAD belt loosens or detaches, the vehicle may lose power assisted steering, increasing the risk of a crash.

Jaguar has notified owners, and dealers will inspect the affected engine-mounted components for proper threading and torque, correcting them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on November 10, 2014. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
