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

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (steering system) where the source text states the defect may increase the risk of a crash, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported.

Plain-English summary

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Jaguar XF vehicles equipped with 2.0L GTDi engines. These vehicles were manufactured between May 16, 2012, and June 15, 2015. The recall affects 6,938 vehicles.
