Jaguar XKR: Brakes

Affects Jaguar XKR · 2007 — about 27 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles the brake servo vacuum supply hose may be mis-routed which could cause the hose to be in close proximity to the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve and attachments on the exhaust manifold. The hose may melt or could deteriorate over time resulting in a leak and a loss of brake assistance. A loss of brake assistance may cause extended stopping distances which could result in a crash causing injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect the brake vacuum hose routing and adjust as necessary. The hose will be replaced if there are signs of damage.
