For the 2004 Jaguar XJ. 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.

2004 Jaguar XJ recalls, newest first

April 30, 2009NHTSA 09V14400014,551 vehicles potentially affected

Service brakes, hydraulic

Summary
Jaguar is recalling 14,551 my 2004 xj vehicles. A potential concern has been identified with the installation of a noise vibration and harshness (nvh) pad fitted to the under tray and its interaction with the rear under floor brake pipes, rear cross member brake pipes, and their unions. A review of vehicle build conditions provides evidence that a touch condition can exist between the under floor and cross member brake pipes and the nvh pad at the rear of the under floor under tray. Where the touch condition exists, water and dirt can collect and be held in contact with the pipes and their unions, abrade the corrosion protection and reduce the corrosion life of the pipes accordingly.
Consequence
Corrosion of the brake pipes can lead to a loss of mechanical integrity of the braking system. This can result in extended brake pedal travel combined with reduced braking performance in the corresponding brake circuit. The instrument cluster may display the warning message 'fluid level low', along with the brake warning lamp being illuminated. In the event of both braking circuits losing integrity at the same time, complete loss of service brakes will occur, thereby potentially causing a vehicle crash.
Remedy
Dealers will remove the under tray at the rear of the vehicle and remove and discard the nvh pad fitted to the rear of the under tray. Dealers will inspect the rear under floor and rear cross member brake pipes and unions for red rust. If red rust is present on the pipes or on the union, the brake pipes and union will be replaced with new components of the same design. This service will be performed free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during may 2009. Owners may contact Jaguar at 1-800-452-4827.

Air bags › Frontal

Summary
On certain passenger vehicles, the passenger air bag trim components have a poor aperture edge.
Consequence
Should the air bag deploy, it could be cut, causing it to not inflate properly, which increases the risk of injury to the occupant in a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the passenger air bag aperture and, where necessary, remove any sharp, serrated edges. The recall began on may 14, 2004. Owners should contact Jaguar at 1-800-452-4827.

Summary

Consequence
This failure could result in a crash.
