Jaguar F Type: Loss Of Control
Jaguar is recalling 89 F-Type vehicles with all-wheel drive and continuously variable damping because they have incorrect anti-roll bars installed. In extreme driving conditions, this can prevent the stability control system from working properly, potentially causing loss of vehicle control and increasing crash risk. The fix involves replacing the rear anti-roll bar with the correct part.

- Product
- Vehicles: JAGUAR F TYPE. Units affected: 89
- Reason
- 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. Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the rear Anti-roll bar with the correct specification component.
