Plain-English summary
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling one 2016 Jaguar F-Type vehicle manufactured on February 3, 2015. The affected vehicle has the power steering system still set in the supplier's factory operating mode.
In this condition, if a steering system malfunction occurs, the vehicle can experience additional steering inputs from the electric power steering system.

Jaguar will notify the owner, and a dealer will either correct the steering system software or replace the steering rack, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin October 31, 2015.
