2012 Jaguar XF recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Jaguar is recalling certain model year 2012 XF vehicles, manufactured from september 7, 2011, through november 24, 2011, for an incorrect certification label. Since the gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr) is stated incorrectly, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of part 567, certification.
💥 The risk
Customers may unknowingly exceed the gvwr. Exceeding the gvwr of the vehicle, CAN lead to loss of vehicle stability, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the label. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before january 23, 2012. Owners may contact jaguar at 1-800-452-4827.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
