X-type Jaguar Owners May Need to Visit an Automotive Commercial Property

Posted on 26 October, 2011 by MOVEHUT

Cruise control may make driving easier, but not for many X-type Jaguar drivers. It has been reported that the cruise control on some diesel versions of the car becomes jammed and can only be disarmed by turning the engine off. Jaguar are currently contacting owners of the affected model, which was manufactured between 2006 and 2010.

Recalls by other manufacturers: 

  • March 2011 – Toyota:

22,000 trucks and sport utility vehicles
were recalled due to the fear that their
tyre deflation systems could cause a
crash, if they failed.

  • June 2011 – Chrysler:

A design fault on the Jeep Gran
Cherokee,which could have potentially
caused the vehicle to burst into flames,
affected two million owners in the USA.

  • August 2011 – Honda:

The automatic transmission software
was required to be updated, meaning 1.5
million owners in the USA were affected.

As a result of this issue, a total of 17,678 cars are currently being recalled. Owners of the model will be required to visit their dealer at an automotive commercial property to get the problem fixed, free of charge.

Speaking of the issue, a spokesperson for Jaguar stated, “This potential problem was spotted by one of our employees. No customer has been affected and there had been no accidents or injuries.”

Owners of the affected X-type Jaguar will receive a letter shortly explaining about the problem, “In some circumstances the cruise control may not respond to the normal inputs,” and how they can get the problem fixed at a local dealer.

Facts and figures: 

  • The x-type was manufactured in both saloon and estate version
  • The saloon was made between 2001 and 2009 and the estate was made between 2004 and 2009
  • 350,000 X-type cars were sold during the eight years
  • The model won the ‘Editors Choice Award’ at  the Geneva Motor Show of 2001
  • In January 2011, Jaguar announced that it was considering launching a new style X-Type to be positioned below the XF and to compete with the BMW 3-Series
  • If the new X-type plans go ahead the car would not be on sale before 2014.
