Turn Signal Indicator - Replace GECM - RECALL R935
This recall supersedes Service Action S920 (Technical Bulletin XT419-S920).
Issue:
Jaguar has investigated a concern with the external indicators on X-TYPE Vehicles. When power is lost to the external indicators, the internal 'tell tales' flash as if there is no fault. Investigations have determined that the General Electronic Control Module (GECM) design includes feed back to the driver via a 'tell tale' function for bulb failure but does not include feedback in the event of power loss to the direction indicator system as required by law.
Corrective action was introduced into production at the end of October 2002, by implementing a software change within the GECM.
Jaguar Cars has made the decision to recall all X-TYPE vehicles in the above VIN range that have yet to have the correct level of GECM installed.
Jaguar Cars will be writing to all owners of affected vehicles requesting them to contact their nearest dealer as soon as possible to arrange for the GECM to be replaced at the earliest opportunity.
To ensure that this repair can be fully completed, the owners of affected vehicles must make available all remote locking handsets.
In conjunction with this Recall Action, Service Action S934 Restraints Control Module Reprogram will be released which is an owner notification program and affects all X-TYPE vehicles within the VIN range of C00294 to C90822. You should ensure that all repairs are completed at one visit.
Action:
This is an ideal opportunity to ensure that all outstanding Service Actions are completed on X-TYPE vehicles included within this Recall Action.
Note:
