Recall: R/2005/155
Launched: 30 November 2005
Issued by: JAGUAR
Manufacturer reference: R525
Vehicles: DVSA lists 109 on each model line

What can go wrong

Due to the presence of an out of specification component within the automatic gearbox parking brake interlock system. The parking function may not fully engage when the operating lever is moved to park despite all indicators showing that park has been achieved. If the parking brake is not applied the vehicle may roll away if the ignition key remains in the ignition.

The fix

Recalled vehicles will have the out of specification component replaced with a quality assured item.

Models and build dates

As listed in the DVSA recall file. DVSA lists the same vehicle number on each line: 109. It may be a figure per line or for the whole recall.
Model	Built	Vehicles
Jaguar S-Type	not recorded	109
Jaguar XJ	7 September 2005 to 4 October 2005	109

Is a specific car affected? A recall lists models and build dates, not individual vehicles, so these pages cannot tell you whether one car is included. Enter the registration on the DVSA vehicle recall checker on GOV.UK, or give the vehicle identification number (VIN) to the manufacturer or one of its dealers. Buying used? Ask the seller for proof that any recall work was done.
