What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

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. If the vehicle is in motion when this occurs, the driver may unexpectedly lose the ability to control the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

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. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
