What's wrong?
The 2016 Jaguar F-Type uses electric power steering to reduce the effort needed to turn the wheel. Sensors and control software tell the steering assist unit how much help to add as the driver steers. Under normal operation, that assist follows the driver’s input and makes low-speed and parking maneuvers easier.
On the affected F-Type, the electric power steering system was left in the supplier's factory operating mode. That mode was meant for supplier setup, not customer driving after delivery. The vehicle operates normally until another steering software fault is present. In that situation, factory mode can allow the electric assist unit to add steering input that the driver did not command.
There is no warning sign before failure. Jaguar did not identify a light, sound, message, or steering feel that alerts the owner before the unwanted steering input occurs.

What's the safety risk?

What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2016 Jaguar F-Type is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Jaguar dealer to schedule the free steering-system software correction or steering-rack replacement that takes the power steering system out of supplier factory mode.
- Bring the recall notice if Jaguar mailed it. If not, reference recall number 15V569 and Jaguar recall J055 when you call.
- Drive carefully until the repair is complete; stop driving and call the dealer if the steering feels abnormal.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jaguar technician checks the power steering system software first. If the vehicle is still set in the supplier's factory operating mode, the technician corrects the software. If the steering rack needs replacement instead, the dealer replaces it. The recall repair is free, including parts and labor. Jaguar has a general reimbursement plan on file. If you already paid for a related steering repair, ask Jaguar customer service or the dealer what documentation the plan requires.
