Electrical system
Problem: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain model year 2011-2014 XK convertible vehicles manufactured October 1, 2010, through August 1, 2013. The switch in the overhead roof console also activates the power operated windows when the convertible roof is opening or closing. The switch does not move downward to close the windows. Therefore, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 118, "Power-Operated Window, Partition, and Roof Panel Systems."
Risk: The power windows may inadvertently be activated and pinch or injure an arm or finger.
Fix: Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the overhead roof console, free of charge. The recall began on October 1, 2013. Owners may contact Jaguar at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's recall number is J030.
Engine and engine cooling
Problem: Jaguar is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 jaguar xk and model year 2010 xf v8 5.ol gasoline engine vehicles. The in-tank electric fuel pump may not be correctly activated as the fuel pump relay is not energized following a vehicle start up cycle. An inadequate supply of fuel to the engine could result.
Risk: Fuel starvation to the engine leads to engine stumble followed by engine cut out with minimal warning and could potentially cause a crash.
Fix: Dealers will download revised software free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before august 30, 2010. Owners may contact jaguar at 1-800-452-4827.
