MY 2003 LEASED JAGUAR WAS RECENTLY SERVICED AT 19,000 MILES. MY FRONT TIRES WERE LOSING AIR AND ASKED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FIND OUT WHY. I WAS TOLD THE FRONT RIMS WERE BENT AND THE TIRES WERE WORN ON THE INSIDE. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS CAR WAS RECALLED ONCE AND I HAD TO BE TOWED TWICE DUE TO PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING NOT WORKING PROPERLY DUE TO MANUFACTURER PROBLEM AND THE RADIATOR'S CLAMP COMING LOOSE, WHICH IS ALSO A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM. AT 19,000 MILES BENT RIMS AND NEW TIRES ARE OBSURED.*AK

THE VEHICLE HIT SOMETHING IN THE ROAD WHICH CAUSED THE RIMS TO CRUSH AND THE TIRES TO DEFLATE. THE TIRES AND RIMS WERE REPLACED AND ALIGNED. THIS HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE. *AK *NM
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH LHD MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS, THE HAND BRAKE, WHICH APPLIES THE PARKING BRAKE, MAY NOT APPLY SUFFICIENT PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PADS TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING IF THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION WAS LEFT IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION. THE AUTOMATIC ADJUSTER WITHIN THE HAND BRAKE MAY NOT WORK PROPERLY CAUSING THE HAND BRAKE LEVER TO TRAVEL OUTSIDE THE RECOMMENDED RANGE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE VEHICLE TRAVELS OUTSIDE THE RECOMMENDED RANGE, THE VEHICLE MAY ROLL AWAY AND A CRASH MAY OCCUR.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE EXISTING AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT HAND BRAKE LEVER SYSTEM ON THE AFFECTED VEHICLES WITH A MANUAL HAND BRAKE LEVER SYSTEM. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 14, 2005. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT JAGUAR AT 1-800-452-4827.
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER SEDANS, THE POWER CIRCUIT WHICH FEEDS THE DIRECTION INDICATOR SYSTEM COULD FAIL. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE DRIVER BEING UNAWARE THAT THE EXTERNAL TURNING INDICATORS ARE NOT OPERATING BECAUSE THE INTERNAL "TELL-TAIL" LIGHT ON THE DRIVER'S INSTRUMENT PANEL CONTINUES TO WORK NORMALLY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE LOSS OF REAR TURN SIGNALS COULD FAIL TO WARN A FOLLOWING DRIVER THAT THE VEHICLE IS TURNING AND COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE GENERAL ELECTRIC MODULE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN APRIL 1, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT JAGUAR AT 1-201-818-8500.
