Jaguar recalled XFR vehicles built between 18 October 2012 and 25 February 2014. The right hand rear brake pipe can suffer a dynamic fouling condition on a redundant bracket on the rear subframe. The dealer will check the brake pipe and manipulate the redundant bracket on the rear subframe. You won't usually pay for it.1
What’s Wrong
The right hand rear brake pipe can suffer a dynamic fouling condition on a redundant bracket on the rear subframe. If not corrected this can eventually result in the pipe wearing through. This condition will result in loss of brake fluid which will illuminate a warning light on the instrument panel. However there is the possibility of the reduction of braking effluence due to the loss of one brake circuit and possible instability of the vehicle.
DVSA's Original Wording
Concern: BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE AFFECTED Defect: It has been identified that the right hand rear brake pipe can suffer a dynamic fouling condition on a redundant bracket on the rear subframe. If not corrected this can eventually result in the pipe wearing through. This condition will result in loss of brake fluid which will illuminate a warning light on the instrument panel. However there is the possibility of the reduction of braking effluence due to the loss of one brake circuit and possible instability of the vehicle. Remedy: Recall all affected vehicles to check the brake pipe and manipulate the redundant bracket on the rear subframe. If the brake pipe is found to be damaged then the brake pipe will be replaced.
