## What is wrong

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC \(Jaguar\) is recalling certain 2015 F\-TYPE vehicles manufactured August 25, 2014, to September 12, 2014, 2015 XF vehicles manufactured September 3, 2014, to September 12, 2014, and 2015 XJ vehicles manufactured August 21, 2014, to September 11, 2014.  In the affected vehicles, the Front End Accessory Drive \(FEAD\) belt, Power Assisted Steering \(PAS\) pump pulley and/or battery positive cable at the alternator may detach.


## What can happen

If the battery positive cable loosens, an electrical short may result, increasing the risk of a fire.  If the FEAD belt looses or detaches, the vehicle may lose power assisted steering, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Jaguar has notified owners, and dealers will inspect the affected engine mounted components for the proper threading and torque, correcting them as necessary, free of charge.  The recall began November 10, 2014.  Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1\-800\-452\-4827.  Jaguar's number for this recall is J044.
