2006 Jaguar XJ recalls (3)
Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly
Problem: Some passenger vehicles may have fuel tanks in which the fuel delivery module (fdm), jet pump module (jpm, and/or cluster valve (cv) seals are not properly retained in the fuel tank. This may result in illumination of the malfunction indicator lamp (mil), or a fuel odor.
Risk: If the level of fuel is above the fdm, jpm, or cv apertures, fuel may leak out of the tank. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
Fix: Dealers will replace the fuel tanks free of charge. The recall began on october 31, 2006. Owners may contact jaguar at 1-800-452-4827.
Visibility:sun/moon roof assembly
Problem: On certain sedans equipped with moonroofs, a reinforcement bar was incorrectly assembled so that the bar may contact the glass in the moonroof. When closing a door or upon severe road impact, it is possible that the moonroof glass may shatter.
Risk: If the glass shatters, there is a risk of injury to the vehicle occupants.
Fix: Dealers will replace the moonroof free of charge. The recall began on march 27, 2006. Owners may contact jaguar at 1-800-452-4827.
Power train:automatic transmission:gear position indication (prndl)
Problem: Certain sedans may have been built with an incorrectly manufactured automatic transmission parking pawl guide plate.
Risk: Consequently 'park' may not engage when the lever in the vehicle is moved to 'park" and all indicators show 'park' position is achieved.
Fix: Dealers will replace the parking pawl guide plate free of charge. The recall began november 22, 2005. Owners may contact jaguar at 1-800-452-4827.
