The risk
This condition can cause the vehicle to decelerate and may cause rear wheel "lockup" at any road speed. A crash may occur.
The fix
Dealers will replace the electronic park brake module with the latest production lever parts. The recall began on january 15, 2005. Owners should contact jaguar at 1-[removed].
