Jaguar XK8 Recalls
Summary
On certain vehicles, the headlamp adjustment mechanism is not supported by suitable operating instructions on either the mechanism or in the owner's manual. This does not meet the requirements of CMVSS 108. Correction: Owners will be supplied with an owner's manual supplement containing the necessary headlamp aiming instructions.
Summary
THE CABLE ADJUSTER BRACKET NUT ON THE OUTER SLEEVE OF THE THROTTLE CABLE COULD BECOME DISPLACED FROM THE CABLE ABUTMENT BRACKET ON THE ENGINE. SHOULD THE CABLE ADJUSTER BRACKET BECOME DISPLACED, IT MAY RESULT IN LIMITED OPENING OF THE THROTTLE, EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATOR PRESSED FULLY TO THE FLOOR. CORRECTION: A TIE STRAP WILL BE INSTALLED TO SECURE THE ADJUSTING NUT IN ITS LOCATION IN THE CABLE ABUTMENT BRACKET.
Summary
THE DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT SHAFT RETAINING RINGS ON THE REAR SUSPENSION MAY, UNDER EXTREME DRIVING CONDITIONS, BECOME DISPLACED. THIS MAY CAUSE THE OUTPUT SHAFT TO DETACH FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL UNIT WHICH, IN TURN, WILL CAUSE THE REAR SUSPENSION TO COLLAPSE ON THE AFFECTED SIDE. A COLLAPSED SUSPENSION COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF DRIVER CONTROL AND A VEHICLE CRASH. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE RETAINING RINGS AND, IF NECESSARY, RESEAT THE RINGS OR REPLACE THEM.
