2016-18 model year Jaguar XF Sportbrake: ‘virtual’ instrument display intermittently goes blank
In January 2018, a recall was issued for 2016-18 model year Jaguar XF Sportbrake vehicles because the ‘virtual’ instrument display could intermittently go 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 X260 XF Sportbrake: potential fuel leak
In March 2018, a recall was issued for 2018-19 model year Jaguar X260 XF Sportbrake 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.
2016-18 Jaguar X260 XF Sportbrake: may not meet emissions standards
In September 2019, recall campaign H149 was issued for Jaguar X260 XF vehicles that were available for sale prior to 20 April 2018. During testing, these vehicles showed greater than expected variations in carbon dioxide emissions such that they may not meet the required emissions standards. As part of the recall, the vehicles were to undergo an oil change. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17807.
