AFTERSALES BULLETIN
SEPTEMBER 10, 2018

DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE
A potential issue has been identified on a limited number of Jaguar vehicles within the listed Affected Vehicle
Range where the direct pressure sensing valve within the Air Conditioning (A/C) compressor becomes stuck and
cannot respond to changing demands for A/C compressor displacement. The vehicle continues to operate;
however, the function of the climate system is compromised by the failure mode. The customer may report a
number of symptoms: cycling temperature within the passenger compartment, too cold, too hot, and odor ingress
may occur.
This program does not apply to any vehicle already registered and in use, either with the retailer or customer. Any
vehicle already in use may continue to be driven and any repair instructions deemed necessary will be
communicated through a separate Field Action or Technical Bulletin.

CUSTOMER COMMUNICATION
Should this Program mean that you are unable to deliver an affected vehicle to a customer at an agreed handover
date, please advise the customer of the following:

‘Jaguar Land Rover is committed to delivering vehicles to our customers of the highest quality, complete
with the very latest hardware and software. Our vehicles are continually evolving, with our Engineering and
Design teams constantly looking for new and innovative ways to further enhance and develop our vehicles.
Jaguar Land Rover has advised us that there is an upgrade to be carried out on your vehicle, and have
instructed us to complete this action prior to handing the vehicle over to you. Jaguar Land Rover apologize
that this upgrade may delay the delivery of your new vehicle but are committed to ensuring customers
benefit from the very latest technology to ensure your ownership experience is the best one possible.’
If necessary, you may communicate technical details of the repair or upgrade that is required on the vehicle; this is
at your discretion.
RETAILER EMPOWERMENT
We appreciate the frustration experienced by both our customers and Retailers with regards the launch of any
Update Prior to Sale program.
Following the launch of Retailer Empowerment (and where you feel it appropriate), you now have the ability to
offer goodwill to customers who have suffered delays in the delivery of their vehicle. Any goodwill offer should be
specifically for a customer whose vehicle delivery has been delayed due to this specific activity to acknowledge
the poor experience.
Should you have any questions, please contact the Customer Relationship Centre (CRC) in the first instance for
help and support.
