PROBLEMS WITH TIRE EQUIPMENT ON 2003 JAGUAR X. *MR WHEN DRIVING TWENTY MILES PER HOUR , THE VEHICLE HIT A POTHOLE AND THE FRONT TIRE WENT FLAT. THE TIRE HAD A SLIT ON THE OUTSIDE SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE TREADS. DURING INSPECTION, IT TURNED OUT THAT A DIFFERENT TIRE HAD A BULGE AND THAT ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED. ONE OF THE REPLACEMENT TIRES STARTED TO LOSE AIR. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAND NEW TIRE ALSO HAD A SLIT IN THE SAME PLACE AS THE FIRST TWO TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN OVER A POTHOLE AGAIN AND THE NEXT MORNING THE CONSUMER NOTICED THAT THE TIRE HAD A SLIT IN THE SAME PLACE AS THE OTHERS. *SC *JB

CONSUMER EXPERIENCED TWO SPONTANEOUS BLOWOUTS. *PH *JB
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH LHD MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS, THE HAND BRAKE, WHICH APPLIES THE PARKING BRAKE, MAY NOT APPLY SUFFICIENT PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PADS TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING IF THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION WAS LEFT IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION. THE AUTOMATIC ADJUSTER WITHIN THE HAND BRAKE MAY NOT WORK PROPERLY CAUSING THE HAND BRAKE LEVER TO TRAVEL OUTSIDE THE RECOMMENDED RANGE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE VEHICLE TRAVELS OUTSIDE THE RECOMMENDED RANGE, THE VEHICLE MAY ROLL AWAY AND A CRASH MAY OCCUR.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE EXISTING AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT HAND BRAKE LEVER SYSTEM ON THE AFFECTED VEHICLES WITH A MANUAL HAND BRAKE LEVER SYSTEM. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 14, 2005. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT JAGUAR AT 1-800-452-4827.
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER SEDANS, THE POWER CIRCUIT WHICH FEEDS THE DIRECTION INDICATOR SYSTEM COULD FAIL. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE DRIVER BEING UNAWARE THAT THE EXTERNAL TURNING INDICATORS ARE NOT OPERATING BECAUSE THE INTERNAL "TELL-TAIL" LIGHT ON THE DRIVER'S INSTRUMENT PANEL CONTINUES TO WORK NORMALLY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE LOSS OF REAR TURN SIGNALS COULD FAIL TO WARN A FOLLOWING DRIVER THAT THE VEHICLE IS TURNING AND COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE GENERAL ELECTRIC MODULE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN APRIL 1, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT JAGUAR AT 1-201-818-8500.
