2007 Jaguar XKR recalls

Recall 07V-199: Service Brakes, Hydraulic

Reported May 9, 2007 · 277 vehicles affected · JAGUAR CARS LTD

Problem: On certain passenger vehicles, the brake servo vacuum supply hose may have been mis-routed during assembly. This condition may bring the pipe too close to the exhaust gas recirculation (Egr) valve and attachments on the exhaust manifold.

Risk: In the case of a contact condition, the brake vacuum hose may melt leading to a loss of brake assistance increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will inspect the brake vacuum hose routing and adjust as necessary. The hose will be replaced if there are signs of damage. The recall began on may 25, 2007. Owners may contact jaguar at 1-800-452-4827.

My wife and I nearly suffered a fatal accident owing to what turned-out to be a known defect in the jaguar motor management software resident in our and likely every 2007 and later supercharged jaguar engine. Our automobile, with 2800 miles on the odometer, without warning went from accelerating into the idle mode and then remained unresponsive to throttle input placing the automobile in a deadly 't-bone,' fortunately, the driver of the lincoln SUV (I can still see the grill in the passenger window and hear my wife's screams), managed to stop his vehicle just inches from the passenger door.…
