Recalls: Jaguar X760 XE
Overview
Manufacturers, or importers, issue recalls for defects or faults which have the potential to cause injury. Generally, manufacturers will inform the original buyers if their vehicle is subject to a recall and of the steps required to remedy the defect or fault. Please note that the recalls below (if any) are for Australian-delivered vehicles only. Furthermore, the number of recalls should not be taken as an indication of a model’s reliability or its safety more generally.
Recalls: Jaguar X760 XE
2016-17 model year Jaguar X760 XE: fuel leak and engine stall
In April 2016, a recall was issued for 2016 and 2017 ‘model year’ Jaguar XE vehicles that had VINs in the range SAJAB4C1XGA900002 to SAJAB4CN2HA942989. In these vehicles, the low pressure fuel feed hose may detach from the fuel filter, causing fuel to leak into the engine bay and the engine to stall – this would also cause a loss of power, assisted braking and assisted steering. Since the engine may cut out with minimal warning, the sudden loss of power and reduced braking and steering capacity could cause a collision (PRA 2016/15299).
2017 model year Jaguar X760 XE: driver’s seatbelt pre-tensioner may not deploy
In May 2016, a recall was issued for ‘2017 model year’ Jaguar XE vehicles which had VINs in the range SAJAB4AG1HA942566 to SAJAB4AG1HA944169. In the event of an accident, the driver’s seat belt pre-tensioner may not operate under certain conditions, increasing the risk of injury to the driver (PRA 2016/15371).
2014-15 Jaguar XE 2.0L Diesel: diesel fuel leak
In February 2017, a recall was issued for Jaguar XE vehicles that had 2.0-litre diesel engines and were manufactured from 6 October 2014 to 30 June 2015. In these vehicles, the under-floor mounted diesel fuel cooler could leak. If this occurred, the driver may notice a fuel odour, an increase in fuel consumption and, in some cases, liquid diesel fuel puddles may be seen on the ground. In the present of an ignition source, the diesel fuel could ignite and cause a fire; the fuel could also leak onto the road surface and pose a skid hazard that increased the risk of a collision for other road users. The recalled Jaguar XE vehicles had VINs in the range SAJAB4C1XGA900002 to SAJAB4CN0GA911884 (PRA 2017/15915).
2017 model year Jaguar XE: front seatbelt pre-tensioners may not deploy
In March 2017, a recall was issued for 2017 model year Jaguar XE vehicles. In the event of a collision, the front seatbelt pre-tensioner in these vehicles may not deploy as designed due to a deviation in the seatbelt initiator generant mix ratio – this increased the risk of injury to the front seat occupants. The recalled Jaguar X760 XE vehicles had VINs in the range SAJAB4AN7HA960925 to SAJAB4AGHL995575 (PRA 2017/15962).
2017-18 model year Jaguar XE with 2.0 Diesel engine: fuel return hose may leak
In June 2017, a recall was issued for 2017 and 2018 ‘model year’ Jaguar XE vehicles that had 2.0-litre diesel engines and were available for sale in Australia from 20 November 2016 to 22 May 2017. In these vehicles, the fuel return may leak; the fuel leak may be noticed as a fuel odour and the driver may observe fuel puddles beneath the vehicle. If fuel leaked onto the road surface, it would pose a skid hazard to other road users and increase the risk of a collision. Furthermore, if leaking fuel came into contact with a hot surface in the engine bay, it could also ignite and cause a fire. The recalled Jaguar XE vehicles had VINs in the range SAJAB4CN0HCP06281 to SAJAB4BNXJCP18445 (PRA 2016/16071).
2016-18 model year Jaguar XE: ‘virtual’ instrument display intermittently goes blank
In January 2018, a recall was issued for 2016-18 model year Jaguar XE vehicles because the ‘virtual’ instrument display could intermittently cease become blank (i.e. no information would be displayed). Since the instrument display would no longer display information such as vehicle speed, there would be an increased risk of collision. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2018/16521.
2018-19 model year Jaguar X760 XE: potential fuel leak
In March 2018, a recall was issued for 2018-19 model year Jaguar X760 XE vehicles that had 2.0-litre turbocharged ‘Ingenium’ petrol engines. In these vehicles, the engine-mounted fuel rails may not have been manufactured correctly – this could cause fuel vapour and liquid fuel leaks within the engine bay. If this occurred, vehicle occupants may notice a fuel odour and, if the bonnet was lifted, liquid fuel could be visible. If the leaking fuel came into contact with a hot surface in the engine bay, the fuel could ignite and start an under-bonnet fire. For the VIN ranges of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2018/16679.
Jaguar X760 XE: Takata airbag recall
In October 2018, recall campaign H200 was issued for Jaguar X760 XE vehicles because they had Takata driver’s airbags. The propellant wafers in these airbags could absorb moisture over time and, in the event of deployment, excessive internal pressure could cause the metal airbag inflator housing to explode or rupture – this could cause metal fragments to be projected through the airbag and into the vehicle cabin. These metal fragments posed a serious risk of injury and death. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2018/17080.
2017 model year Jaguar X760 XE: Takata airbag recall
In January 2019, recall campaign H201 was issued for 2017 model year Jaguar X760 XE vehicles. These vehicles had Takata driver’s airbags and, over time, propellant wafers inside the airbag could absorb moisture. In the event of airbag deployment, excessive pressure inside the metal airbag inflator housing could cause it to explode or rupture, such that metal fragments may be projected through the airbag and into the vehicle’s cabin. These metal fragments had the potential to cause serious injury or fatality. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17271.
2016-18 Jaguar X760 XE 2.0T: carbon dioxide emissions
In March 2019, recall campaign H185 was issued for Jaguar X760 XE vehicles that had 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engines and were available for sale from 9 November 2016 to 5 July 2018. During testing, these vehicles demonstrated a greater than expected variation in carbon dioxide emissions such that they may not meet the required emissions standards. To fix, the vehicles were to receive a software update. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17408.
