Recall Alert: 2004 Jaguar XJ

Jaguar has issued a recall of 14,493 XJ vehicles from the 2004 model year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Jaguar is concerned with the rear under-floor brake pipes, which may have a condition in which water and dirt can collect beneath them and cause corrosion.

This can lead to a loss of braking performance or — in a worst-case scenario, in which both braking circuits lose integrity due to corrosion of the brake pipes — a complete loss of braking, which could result in a crash.

Dealers will inspect the brake pipes for signs of rust or other problems. If necessary, they will replace the pipes or other potentially damaged components free of charge.

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