What is being recalled

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain model year 2013 XF 2.0L GTDi vehicles manufactured July 2012 through May 2013. The hose clamp for the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) hose may be out of position and loose, allowing the hose to detach.

Why it is dangerous

If the CAC hose detaches, the engine may stall, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, steering and brake assistance may be lost further increasing the risk.

The fix (free at any franchised dealer)

Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the CAC hose to make sure its clamp is in the correct position and tight, free of charge. The recall began on September 20, 2013. Owners may contact Jaguar at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's recall number is J034.

Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 13V-341 when calling a dealer.
