Unintended Rear Wheel Braking - No Park Brake Warning Lights Displayed - RECALL R166
Updated information is shown with a black bar.
Issue:
A concern has been identified on a number of 2003 MY S-TYPE vehicles within the above VIN range. It is possible that the electronic parking brake can be unintentionally applied resulting in the vehicle decelerating or, in extreme cases, the rear wheels locking up, which may result in a vehicle crash. This condition can occur at any speed without warning lights displayed on the instrument cluster.
Jaguar Cars has made the decision to recall all affected vehicles within the above VIN range for the electronic parking brake module to be renewed.
Recall Action R167 - Unintended rear wheel braking with warning lights, is being released at the same time as Recall Action R166. All of the vehicles in this Recall Action require both R166 and R167. You must ensure that all repairs are completed at one visit. Refer to S206-R167 for repair information.
A copy of the customer letter is shown in this bulletin.
Action:
At the time of confirming a booking for vehicle repair, ensure that all outstanding Field Service Actions are identified to ensure the correct parts are available and adequate workshop time is allocated for repairs to be completed at one visit.
To replace the Electronic Parking Brake module, refer to Workshop Manual Section 206-05, SRO 70.35.47.
NOTE:
Use WDS to configure the new EPB module, after installation.
Warning:
After replacing the EPB module, destroy the old module by striking it with a hammer to prevent its unintentional reuse.
