Recall Selected Models of The Jaguar Xj, Xf and Xk Vehicles in The Us.

British luxury car maker Jaguar Land Rover's (JLR) North American division has recalled selected models of the Jaguar XJ, XF and XK vehicles in the US.

The recall affects 297 vehicles, which were delivered during 2013-2014 in the US and were manufactured at the automaker's Castle Bromwich Assembly Plant in the UK between November 2012 and January 2014.

According to a filing with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), toe links of the recalled are susceptible to separate from the cars' subframe that would lead to rupture of alignment of the rear wheels.

Jaguar Land Rover said in a statement that in the event of prolonged aggressive driving with frequent lateral and braking force inputs it is possible that the rear toe link will separate from the rear sub-frame.

"Once separated, the orientation control of the affected rear wheel is lost and the wheel will cant inboard or outboard depending on the direction of vehicle turn," the company noted.

"In this condition, vehicle stability will be compromised and the degree of directional control minimized, this significantly increases the risk of an accident."

The automaker will start notifying the customers about the recall from 27 May 2014.
