06/01/09 Brakes and Traction Control Jaguar is recalling 14,551 my 2004 xj vehicles. a potential concern has been identified with the installation of a noise vibration and harshness (nvh) pad fitted to the under tray and its interaction with the rear under floor brake pipes, rear cross member brake pipes, and their unions. a review of vehicle build conditions provides evidence that a touch condition can exist between the under floor and cross member brake pipes and the nvh pad at the rear of the under floor under tray. where the touch condition exists, water and dirt can collect and be held in contact with the pipes and their unions, abrade the corrosion protection and reduce the corrosion life of the pipes accordingly.

Corrosion of the brake pipes can lead to a loss of mechanical integrity of the braking system. this can result in extended brake pedal travel combined with reduced braking performance in the corresponding brake circuit. the instrument cluster may display the warning message 'fluid level low', along with the brake warning lamp being illuminated. in the event of both braking circuits losing integrity at the same time, complete loss of service brakes will occur, thereby potentially causing a vehicle crash.

Dealers will remove the under tray at the rear of the vehicle and remove and discard the nvh pad fitted to the rear of the under tray. dealers will inspect the rear under floor and rear cross member brake pipes and unions for red rust. if red rust is present on the pipes or on the union, the brake pipes and union will be replaced with new components of the same design. this service will be performed free of charge. the recall is expected to begin during may 2009. owners may contact jaguar at 1-800-452-4827.

Jaguar XJ Recalls

Some things are often misunderstood about recalls and technical service bulletins (TSBs). Plus a disclaimer.

  1. Recalls do not have to be issued only because something is prone to failure. NHTSA (a government agency) can only require a recall if a failure will affect safety, emissions, fuel economy, or compliance with some other regulation or law. Manufacturers can voluntarily recall cars for problems that do not affect these, though.
  2. Recalls often apply to only some cars of a specific model year, rather than all of them. You should receive a letter from the manufacturer if your car has been recalled. You can also check with the dealer, which will know which (if any) recalls pertain to your car.
  3. The primary purpose of TSBs is to inform dealers about known problems with a car and how to fix them. They are not the same as recalls. As with recalls, TSBs often only apply to some cars, not the entire model year.
  4. Dealers often will not provide a preventive repair just because a problem described in a TSB might happen to your car. They'll usually want to observe symptoms that the problem is already affecting your car.
  5. Even if there are symptoms, a manufacturer doesn't have to pick up the cost of a TSB repair if the car is out of warranty, though sometimes they do.

We provide the text of recalls and TSBs as provided by NHTSA. There can be errors in the text. If you sign up for notifications in My Garage, we will try to get these to do, but for various reasons (some beyond our control) cannot guarantee you will receive them. When in doubt about a recall or TSB, contact the dealer.
