Jaguar Recall 03V-011: Exterior lighting – turn signal

Affected: 2002–2003 Jaguar X-Type. Filed with NHTSA on January 16, 2003, covering about 49,174 vehicles.

The problem

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.

The risk

The loss of rear turn signals could fail to warn a following driver that the vehicle is turning and could result in a crash.

The fix

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.
