“I was recently made aware that an extremely dangerous condition that occurred with my 2001 vehicle was something that should have been prevented. It was considered a recall item on jaguars in model years 1997- 1999 (Jaguar service action number: s514, subject: throttle closed position operation, reference: 13/05/04 303-s514v1). I experienced the same conditions described in the recall notice and could have easily, without exaggeration, been killed due to this engineering defect. …”
