What NHTSA recorded

On certain passenger vehicles equipped with lhd manual transmissions, the hand brake, which applies the parking brake, may not apply sufficient pressure to the brake pads to prevent the vehicle from moving if the manual transmission was left in the neutral position. The automatic adjuster within the hand brake may not work properly causing the hand brake lever to travel outside the recommended range.

Possible consequence

If the vehicle travels outside the recommended range, the vehicle may roll away and a crash may occur.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the existing automatic adjustment hand brake lever system on the affected vehicles with a manual hand brake lever system. The recall began on january 14, 2005. Owners should contact jaguar at 1-800-452-4827.
