What are the defects?
Jaguar Land Rover engineering has identified that EMS software failed to apply the vehicles speed limiter to restrict the road speed when deployable rear spoiler (DRS) failed to deploy.
What are the hazards?
Where road speed exceeds 217kph with the DRS in the down position vehicle stability will be compromised and the degree of directional control minimised, this significantly increases the risk of an accident.
What should consumers do?
Owners will be notified and instructed to take their vehicles to a Jaguar authorised repairer who will update the vehicle with the correct calibration software.
