What's wrong?
The rear toe link on the 2013-2014 Jaguar Xf, Xj, and Xk is part of the rear suspension. It connects the rear wheel assembly to the rear sub-frame and helps hold the wheel at the correct angle. That alignment keeps the rear tires tracking straight as the vehicle moves.
On affected Jaguar vehicles, the toe link can separate from the rear sub-frame. Once that connection separates, the rear suspension loses a key point that holds the wheel in alignment. The wheel then no longer has the same controlled position the suspension was designed to maintain.
There is no warning sign before failure. The recall filing does not list a sound, warning light, or handling symptom that owners can count on before the toe link separates.
Who's affected?
The scope spans Xf, Xj, and Xk models across the 2013 and 2014 model years, all tied to the rear suspension.

What's the safety risk?
A rear toe link separation can reduce vehicle stability and directional control, increasing the risk of a crash. Schedule the recall repair soon, and ask the dealer whether your Jaguar is safe to drive until the appointment. Repair will be free at any franchised Jaguar dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013-2014 Jaguar Xf, Xj, or Xk is included in this recall.
- Use Jaguar's owner letter to confirm dealer instructions before scheduling the free repair.
- Contact a franchised Jaguar dealer about the rear toe-link nut and washer repair that secures the rear wheel-alignment links.
- Reference recall number 14V157 when you call the dealer.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Stop driving and call the dealer if the vehicle feels unstable or does not track straight.
What happens at the repair
Jaguar's filing says owners were notified on May 8, 2014, and the dealer repair was expected to begin around May 27, 2014. At the dealer, a Jaguar technician replaces the nut and washer assembly on the rear toe links. Those toe links help hold rear wheel alignment at the rear subframe, so the repair focuses on securing that connection. The dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under recall 14V157.
