No Warning if Front Turn Signals Fail/FMVSS 108

Without the change to the flash and chime rate, the driver may not know that a turn signal is not working. If the turn signal is not working, other drivers will not be aware that the vehicle is turning, increasing the risk of a crash.

Summary

Without the change to the flash and chime rate, the driver may not know that a turn signal is not working. If the turn signal is not working, other drivers will not be aware that the vehicle is turning, increasing the risk of a crash.

If a front turn signal indicator stops working, the visual and audible turn signal reminders do not flash or chime faster as required.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, “Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.”

Remedy

Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will update the vehicle’s software, free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin on July 17, 2017.

Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827.

Jaguar’s number for this recall is H026.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to  www.safercar.gov.
