What happened

Jaguar is recalling certain 2015 F-TYPE, XF, and XJ vehicles manufactured between August and September 2014 because the Front End Accessory Drive belt, Power Assisted Steering pump pulley, and/or battery positive cable at the alternator may detach. If the battery positive cable loosens, an electrical short may occur and increase the risk of fire. If the FEAD belt loosens or detaches, the vehicle may lose power-assisted steering, increasing the risk of a crash.

Jaguar dealers will inspect the affected engine-mounted components for proper threading and torque at no charge and correct any issues as necessary. The recall began on November 10, 2014. Affected owners should contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827 and reference recall number J044 to schedule an inspection.
