2010 JAGUAR XF; 2010 JAGUAR XK
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Jaguar Land Rover North America is recalling certain 2010 XK and XF vehicles manufactured between June 27, 2009, and March 10, 2010. The power assist steering pipes in these vehicles have zinc-nickel plating that does not fully meet Jaguar's corrosion protection requirements. Over time, this can cause the pipes to corrode and develop small holes, allowing pressurized power steering fluid to leak into the engine area.
If power steering fluid leaks from the pipes, the vehicle will lose power steering assist. Additionally, the leaking fluid may ignite if it contacts a hot engine surface or ignition source, potentially causing a vehicle fire. To remedy this issue, dealers will replace the power steering fluid pipes with properly manufactured parts at no charge. Owners should contact Jaguar at 1-800-452-4827.

PIN-HOLING OF THE PAS PIPES COULD ALLOW PRESSURIZED POWER STEERING FLUID TO LEAK INTO THE UNDER-HOOD AND ENGINE BAY AREA. A LOSS OF POWER STEERING FLUID WILL RESULT IN A LOSS OF POWER ASSIST STEERING. ALSO, THAT FLUID MAY IGNITE IF IT COMES INTO CONTACT WITH AN IGNITION SOURCE OR A SURFACE AT SUFFICIENTLY HIGH ENOUGH TEMPERATURE, CAUSING A VEHICLE FIRE.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE POWER STEERING FLUID PIPES WITH PARTS MANUFACTURED TO THE REQUIRED CORROSION PROTECTION SPECIFICATION. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGED. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE JUNE 6, 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT JAGUAR AT 1-800-452-4827.
