For the 2003 Jaguar X-Type. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

Has your Jaguar been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Jaguar dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

2003 Jaguar X-Type recalls, newest first

October 7, 2004NHTSA 04V4870003,856 vehicles potentially affected

Parking brake

Summary
On certain passenger vehicles equipped with lhd manual transmissions, the hand brake, which applies the parking brake, may not apply sufficient pressure to the brake pads to prevent the vehicle from moving if the manual transmission was left in the neutral position. The automatic adjuster within the hand brake may not work properly causing the hand brake lever to travel outside the recommended range.
Consequence
If the vehicle travels outside the recommended range, the vehicle may roll away and a crash may occur.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the existing automatic adjustment hand brake lever system on the affected vehicles with a manual hand brake lever system. The recall began on January 14, 2005. Owners should contact Jaguar at 1-800-452-4827.

Exterior lighting › Turn signal

Summary
On certain passenger sedans, the power circuit which feeds the direction indicator system could fail. This could result in the driver being unaware that the external turning indicators are not operating because the internal "tell-tail" light on the driver's instrument panel continues to work normally.
Consequence
The loss of rear turn signals could fail to warn a following driver that the vehicle is turning and could result in a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the general electric module. Owner notification began April 1, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Jaguar at 1-201-818-8500.
