Hood Panels

CONDITION SUMMARY:
Situation: A potential concern has been identified on a limited number of 2012 model year Jaguar XF vehicles, equipped with the supercharged engine only, where water retention may occur between the outer and inner hood panels. This is caused by water entering the cavity between the panels via the supercharger air intake louvers and having no means of escape.

Technical Bulletin. For vehicles in dealer inventory, this UPS should be performed in conjunction with the vehicle Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI). For vehicles in dealer inventory which have already had the PDI completed, this UPS should be completed prior to final preparation / customer handover.
