WARRANTY POLICY STATEMENT
Jaguar Cars will pay for the replacement of a tire(s) for a steering vibration/shimmy complaint on a vehicle with less than 6 months, or 6,000 miles,
whichever occurs first, provided the following conditions are met:
^
The retailer has demonstrated consistent compliance in maintaining 60 PSI storage pressure on all new vehicles in inventory up to time of sale.
Failure to demonstrate compliance with this requirement will exclude the retailer from eligibility for tire reimbursement under this policy.
^
The diagnostic procedures outlined in this bulletin were followed using the required equipment, but the concern could not be resolved.
^
A Tire Optimization Form, S96, must be completed and attached to the hard copy of the repair order along with the RFV print outs from the tire
balancer.
^
Replacement of the tire was authorized by your After Sales Market Manager prior to the work being completed. A signed W22 Authorization
Request Form must be attached to the hard copy of the RO and stored in the vehicle file.
^
The replacement tire(s) was purchased through Jaguar Tire Program.
^
Displaced tires must be retained for inspection and scrapping by your After Sales Market Manager.
Workshop Procedure
Note:
obtain the S96 Tire Optimization Form and first fill out the "original tire information" section.
1.
Bring tires to proper cold air pressures and take the car on a 15-20 mile (highway) road test to ensure that all flat spots are removed and sufficient
tire heating has taken place. Tire heating is extremely vital to the process, it must not be overlooked.
2.
Ensure the vehicle is lifted oft the ground as soon it returns, to minimize temporary flat spots.
3.
A)
For vehicles with original factory balance intact - while still warm, remove each wheel. Measure Radial Force variation, do not disturb
factory wheel weights. Proceed to step 4.
B)
For vehicles with nonfactory balance or with a new tire being mounted - while still warm, remove each wheel. Balance the wheel on the
Hunter 9700/9712 and measure the Radial Force variation. Perform wheel to tire match mounting here if balancing machine indicates
necessity.
4.
Record the value of the Radial Force variation (lbs.) on the inside of each tire with crayon, and mark "high point" spot (as indicated by Hunter
9700/9712) on the tire with a hash mark on the sidewall. It is recommended that a permanent paint mark be applied on the inside sidewall as well.
This will eliminate the need to identify the "high" spot again if a future repair requires removing the wheel.
The Tire Optimization Form (S96) must be completed and attached to the hard copy of the repair order along with the Radial Force Variation print
outs from the tire balancer.
Note:
On vehicles with directional tires or different size front and rear tires, the wheel and tire assemblies can only be optimized at their original location
on the vehicle. Proceed to step 6.
5.
Reinstall wheels as follows:
^
lowest value of Radial Force variation on left front of vehicle,
^
second lowest value of Radial Force variation on right front of vehicle,
^
third lowest value of Radial Force variation on left rear of vehicle, and
^
greatest value of Radial Force variation on right rear of vehicle.
However, do not fully tighten wheel nuts. Snug them in by hand to the point where there is no play or wobble between the road wheel and
