Jaguar Land Rover North America is recalling 297 2013-'14 Jaguar XJ, XF and XK vehicles to repair a hardware issue that could lead to loss of vehicle stability.

The recall was first reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Jaguar Land Rover said to the NHTSA the issue is likely linked to "prolonged aggressive driving with frequent lateral and braking force inputs."

"In the affected vehicles, the toe links, components used to control the alignment of the rear wheels, can separate from the rear sub-frame," said NHTSA in its summary of the problem. "If a toe link separates from the rear sub-frame, a loss of vehicle stability and directional control may result, increasing the risk of a crash."

No accidents or injuries linked to the recall have been reported to Jaguar yet, the company said to federal safety regulators.

Jaguar dealers are being instructed to replace the nut and washer assembly on the rear toe links, free of charge.

The recall will begin around May 27.

Owners with more questions can reach Jaguar at 1-855-524-8278.
