What's wrong?
On the 2013-2014 Jaguar Xf, the right-hand rear brake pipe is a hard brake-fluid line routed near the rear subframe. Its job is to carry pressurized brake fluid to the rear brake so the caliper applies force when you press the pedal. The pipe has to stay sealed and clear of nearby brackets while the suspension and body move.
In recall 14V291, the pipe sits close enough to a rear subframe bracket that it rubs against the bracket. That contact wears the outside of the pipe down over time. If the pipe wears through, brake fluid leaks out of the hydraulic system instead of staying under pressure.
There is no warning sign before failure. After a leak starts, the driver can see brake fluid near the rear of the vehicle or feel a change in braking response, but the filing does not list an earlier warning sign.
