Problem: On certain passenger vehicles, when replace the fuel filler cap to the vehicle's fuel tank filler neck, it is possible to over-tighten the cap inducing a poor seal. In the event of a vehicle roll-over, it is possible for fuel to leak past the fuel filler cap.
Risk: Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
Fix: Dealers will remove the fuel cap seals and fit better quality seals onto the vehicle. The recall began on october 1, 2004. Customers may also contact jaguar at 1-800-452-4827.
