    I took my car for the 35000 mile service and I am needing to replace the lower coolant outlet Y pipe, which has been recalled on Jaguars the same year and manufacturing plant as mine. The part nu,nets are the same ones on the recall. Also the brake axle.? Which I think there may have been a recall. I do t know if you have had any other complaints on this matter, but I feel Jaguar should acknowledge it may have more cars that are defective and fix them.
