Problem: Jaguar is recalling certain model year 2010 xk and xf vehicles manufactured from june 27, 2009, through march 10, 2010.

After an extended period of time in service, corrosion of the pas pipes will occur that may lead to pin-holing of the pipe.
Risk: Pin-holing of the pas pipes could allow pressurized power steering fluid to leak into the under-hood and engine bay area. A loss of power steering fluid will result in a loss of power assist steering. Also, that fluid may ignite if it comes into contact with an ignition source or a surface at sufficiently high enough temperature, causing a vehicle fire.
Fix: Dealers will replace the power steering fluid pipes with parts manufactured to the required corrosion protection specification. This service will be performed free of charged. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before june 6, 2011. Owners may contact jaguar at 1-800-452-4827.

Fuel system, gasoline:delivery
Problem: Jaguar is recalling certain model year 2010 vehicles. The fuel transfer pipe in the fuel tank may be kinked. This may restricts fuel being transferred from one side of the fuel tank to the fuel pump causing fuel starvation at low fuel levels.
Risk: Fuel starvation to the engine can cause the engine to stall without warning and could potentially cause a crash.

Risk: Customers may inflate tires to an incorrect pressure due to this tire pressure mislabeling. Failure to inflate tires to the correct pressures can lead to loss of vehicle stability and increase the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will be instructed to inspect the tire placard label. If the recommended pressure on the tire placard label does not correspond with the tires fitted to the vehicle, that label will be removed and replaced with a label stating the correct recommended tire pressure.
