Service Action K215: Sample Owner Letter
March 2014
RE: Service Action K215 – Neutral Intervention
Vehicle Affected: Jaguar XFR-S
Model Year: 2013-2014

Dear Jaguar XFR-S Owner,
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is providing a no charge Customer Satisfaction program to owners of
certain 2013-2014 model year Jaguar XFR-S vehicles.
What is the issue?
An issue has been identified where when at a virtual standstill following heavy braking, in order to prevent the
engine rpm dropping too low, the transmission may select neutral while the Transmission Control Switch gear
position indicator is still indicating position ‘D’ [Drive]. The Transmission Control Switch gear position indicator will
flash the ‘D’ indicating there is a fault. In this condition, the Transmission Control Switch should be moved to ‘N’
[Neutral] and then back to ‘D’, where normal transmission operation will resume.

e

What will Jaguar and your Jaguar Retailer do?
Your authorized Jaguar retailer will update the Engine Control Module software. There will be no charge for this
repair.
