JAGUAR announced a problem with the XJ affecting a total of 4,487 vehicles.
It has been identified that a touch condition can exist between the rear under floor brake pipes, rear cross member brake pipe and their unions, and a noise vibration harshness pad. Where this condition exists,water and detritus can collect and be held in contact causing the corrosion protection to abrade. This can lead in time to brake fluid leakage, increased brake pedal travel, and in some cases reduced or loss of service brake performance. Vehicles built from 3/15/2002 to 1/19/2004 are at risk.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject brake pipes inspected. Those displaying red rust on the pipes or unions, will be replaced.
