Jaguar recalled F Type vehicles built between 10 September 2014 and 14 March 2015. Anti-Roll bars of incorrect specification have been fitted to vehicles equipped with All Wheel Drive (AWD) with Constantly Variable Damping (CVD). The recall notice describes the fix as: that are likely to be affected and replace the rear Anti-roll bar with the correct specification component. You won't usually pay for it.1

What’s Wrong

Anti-Roll bars of incorrect specification have been fitted to vehicles equipped with All Wheel Drive (AWD) with Constantly Variable Damping (CVD). In this mis-built condition at the extremes of adhesion and in an over steer situation the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system will not mitigate the over steer. The drivers will most likely loose vehicle control of the vehicle. This can increase the risk of a crash.
