JAGUAR is recalling 106 non-supercharged XJ8 saloons and XK8 sports cars which were sold in the UK between August of last year and March of this year, out of a total of 414 worldwide. The recall is for the replacement of the automatic transmission after it was found to lock-up at low speed.

Jaguar says the production process has now been changed and there have been no cases of accidents or injuries. Dealers are replacing the transmission on cars free of charge.
