0 JAGUAR F-TYPE

Category: Light Vehicle · Supplier: Jaguar Land Rover Australia

Recall date: 8 August 2014

Defect

Jaguar Land Rover engineering has identified that EMS software failed to apply the vehicles speed limiter to restrict the road speed when deployable rear spoiler (DRS) failed to deploy.

Hazard

Where road speed exceeds 217kph with the DRS in the down position vehicle stability will be compromised and the degree of directional control minimised, this significantly increases the risk of an accident.

Remedy

Owners will be notified and instructed to take their vehicles to a Jaguar authorised repairer who will update the vehicle with the correct calibration software.
