2005 jaguar s-type r fuel tank recall fuel tank has large evap leak, had to remove fuel tank to find where the leak was during a smoke test. Fuel tank had been replaced during a recall in 2007, now that tank has a large crack on one of the fuel modules on top of tank the not only leaks fuel/vapors but also illuminates "check engine light". Jaguar says they have complied with the recall and is now a replacement at owners expense even though jaguar issued technical bulletin r176nas5 on aug. 18, 2014 that re-identifies this issue and assigns a new fuel tank conversion kit to fix the band-aid that was done in 2007. This fault causes state inspection failure thus unable to register vehicle rendering vehicle useless not to mention unsafe to drive with a fuel/vapor leak constantly present. Another recall for the defective tanks used during the initial recall 06v4180000 date 10-31-2006 should be implemented as this conversion kit is quite costly.

Fuel smell inside vehicle when tank filled. Engine warning light on. Contacted jaguar customer service and jaguar dealer in tampa fl. Both said vehicle had been fixed in april 2007 under jaguar recall r 176 and the federal safety agency 06v418000 and , sorry about your luck, was nothing they could do about it ! Problem has been continuous since then and is only avoided by filling tank to 3/4 or less .I believe that there are many of this model out there where a fix has been done but the original recall fault reappears after time constituting a safety hazard..

Gasoline vapors very strong at all times. When fueling vehicle gas would leak out from under the vehicle. Check engine light illuminated at all time. Restricted performance indicator light illuminated when attempting to accelerate greater than 35 miles per hour with extreme hesitation. I researched the recall and was instructed my particular VIN# did not qualify. (plano park place jaguar) there is fuel leaking from my vehicle!

I was driving on an internal road ~45mph, not accelerating , just maintaining speed. The engine basically shut down, and I had to pull onto the shoulder. The car was barely moving even though the accelerator was depressed to the floor, engine light on, as well as "engine systems fault, parkbrake fault, dsc not available" message showing up on the dash. I restarted the car but now the battery light came on in addition to the other issues mentioned before and the car battery drained out completely and went limp. I got the car jump started and even then it showed a "ABS fault". I waited for 30 mins with the engine running and then finally drove it back to my house. This has happened to me atleast 5 times in the last 1 month. Online forums says that this is a throttle sensor issue and its a common enough problem that jaguar needs to recall and fix these cars. I am very perplexed that a car would just shut down on the road, put itself into "limp mode" and be absolutely fine an hour later.
