CONDITION SUMMARY

Situation: A concern has been identified where during the early production of 2013MY Jaguar XJ All-Wheel Drive model the Restraints Control Module (RCM) was downloaded with a generic software calibration. This generic software calibration does not comply with the requirements of FMVSS208/CMVSS208 for this vehicle type.

Action: Retailers are required to HOLD all affected vehicles that are within your control and refrain from releasing the vehicles for new or used vehicle sale pending completion of the rework action detailed in this Technical Bulletin. Unsold vehicles should have this performed as part of the Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) process but must have it completed prior to vehicle handover to the customer. Affected vehicles already in the hands of customers should be updated at the next available opportunity.
