2000 JAGUAR S-TYPE — Complaint #536601
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:INTERCONNECTING ASSEMBLY(WIRING) filed May 25, 2005
NHTSA complaint #536601 (ODI reference 10122098) concerns a 2000 JAGUAR S-TYPE and was filed on May 25, 2005. The owner reports the failure occurred on March 27, 2005. The report was geocoded to Massachusetts based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, air:antilock:interconnecting assembly(wiring), one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same JAGUAR S-TYPE cohort independently describe similar service brakes, air:antilock:interconnecting assembly(wiring) failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2000 JAGUAR S-TYPE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
