Turn Signal Problems of Jaguar XF

Recall alert: Jaguar Xffacebooktwitter posted: December 9, 2008 Jaguar is recalling about 3,800 2009 Xf sedans due to an electrical defect that could result in a number of problems. In a defect notice filed with the national highway traffic safety administration, Jaguar explains, "the instrument cluster speaker wires may fracture as a consequence of an overly aggressive tick-tock sound wave form, the volume of which is vehicle speed dependent. " the Xf makes the tick-tock sound when its turn signal is engaged - and at high speed, the sound may be loud enough to crack the rubber coating on speaker wires. "in the event of a speaker failure, the following audible notifications will cease to function - directional indicators, seat belt warning, 'lights on' warning, driver's door open with the key in the ignition, driver intervention (adaptive cruise control equipped vehicles) and seat memory. " dealers will make a simple software adjustment, free of charge, to fix the problem. Owners should receive a letter in the mail explaining the recall this week. This is the second time the Xf has been recalled since it came on the market just a few months ago. The earlier recall, involving a seatbelt defect, was a far more serious safety risk - but the fact that the vehicle has been recalled twice in such a short time might concern some buyers. The Xf is a mechanically complex car with many features not found in other vehicles, from a shift knob that sits inside the console when the car is off and raises into the driver's hand after the vehicle is started, to a touch-sensitive glovebox lock. Jaguar has historically faced quality control problems. The Xf is a sharp-looking car with a powerful engine that has won praise from many reviewers, but quality problems with this car could defeat Jaguar's efforts to reform its image.
