Recall 14V390 affects 81 2013-2014 Jaguar Xf vehicles for a power-steering hose defect. Repair is free at any franchised Jaguar dealer.
Jaguar is recalling 81 2013-2014 Xf vehicles because a power-assist steering component can collapse inside the hose and restrict fluid flow. That loss of assist increases steering effort and raises crash risk, and the Jaguar dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The hydraulic power assist steering hose on 2013-2014 Jaguar Xf vehicles carries steering fluid from the power steering pump through the assist system. That fluid pressure helps the steering gear turn the front wheels with normal driver effort. The hose and its internal passage need steady flow so the assist system can respond when you turn the wheel.
Inside the affected power assist steering system, a component can collapse and narrow the fluid path inside the hose. Once that passage is restricted, the pump cannot send enough fluid through the system. Steering assist drops, so the vehicle still steers but takes more effort to control, especially at low speed or during a turn.
There is no warning sign before failure. A driver first notices the problem when the steering wheel suddenly feels heavier than normal or the vehicle becomes harder to maneuver.
Who's affected?
Both model years are tied to the same power steering system component.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific sedan.
What's the safety risk?
Reduced power steering assist makes the wheel harder to turn and increases the risk of a crash. If the steering feels heavier than normal, drive cautiously, stop in a safe place, and call a franchised Jaguar dealer. 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 is included in this recall.
- Watch for Jaguar's owner notice if you have not received it, then contact a franchised Jaguar dealer for recall J042.
- Schedule the free improved PAS hose installation, which restores power-steering fluid flow and power steering assist.
- Bring the recall notice if Jaguar mailed one. If not, reference recall number 14V390 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Expect heavier steering if power assist drops.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jaguar technician installs an improved power assist steering hose. The remedy focuses on restoring proper fluid flow through the PAS hose so the steering assist system is not restricted by the collapsing internal component described in the recall. Jaguar's filing says the hose installation is free of charge once the repair is available. Because the current remedy status was not listed, confirm appointment timing with a Jaguar dealer before planning the repair.
