Service Action S516
Issue:
A concern has been identified on a number of 2005 MY S-TYPE vehicles that are listed in this bulletin. On vehicles supplied with space saver spare wheels, poor adhesion of the speed restriction label could result in the label coming loose from the space saver spare wheel.
Jaguar Cars will contact owners of the 2005 MY S-TYPE vehicles, listed in this bulletin, to replace the spare tire label.
A number of vehicles have been repaired at the Port of Entry facility. This Service Action affects vehicles that are outside of the control of the Port of Entry facilities and any sold vehicles that have not yet been repaired.
Action:
Check the VIN list and DDW to determine validity of the vehicle against the Service Action to ensure that the spare tire label has not already been replaced at the port, prior to carrying out any repair. DDW will be updated to reflect those vehicles affected by this Service Action.
At the time of confirming a booking for vehicle repair, please ensure that any 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.
