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.
