The problem
Jaguar is recalling 34 model year 2010 xf vehicles for failing to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, "Tire selection and rims." The recommended tire pressure on the tire placard label does not correspond with the tires fitted to the vehicle.
The risk
Customers may inflate tires to an incorrect pressure due to this tire pressure mislabeling. Failure to inflate tires to the correct pressures can lead to loss of vehicle stability and increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will be instructed to inspect the tire placard label. If the recommended pressure on the tire placard label does not correspond with the tires fitted to the vehicle, that label will be removed and replaced with a label stating the correct recommended tire pressure. This service will be performed free of charge. The recall began on august 19, 2009. Owners may contact jaguar at 1-800-452-4827.
