Jaguar is recalling about 15,000 2004 XJ models because of concerns about a possible condition that could affect the braking system.
The company said that a noise reduction pad fitted to the under tray could contribute to a build-up of water and dirt, which could lead to corrosion of the brake pipes, which could lead to the braking circuits failing, possibly causing a complete loss of braking.
Dealers will remove the pad and inspect the brake pipes for rust and corrosion. There will be no charge for the service.
Owners may contact Jaguar at 1-800-452-4827.
Consumers may contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153) or at www.safercar.gov.
