CONDITION SUMMARY:
Situation: A small number of 2014 model year Jaguar XJR vehicles require an upgrade to the rear suspension

and refrain from releasing the vehicles for new or used vehicle sale pending completion of the rework action
detailed in this Technical Bulletin. Unsold vehicles should have this performed as part of the Pre-Delivery
