Defect investigations
Fuel Tank Flange Leak
In October 2012, Jaguar Land Rover LLC (JLR) submitted a Defect Information Report (DIR) to the federal safety agency describing a defect condition that could result in pressurized fuel leaks around the fuel supply line connection on the upper surface of the fuel tank assemblies of approximately 4,152 model year (MY) 2010 Jaguar XF vehicles equipped with 5.0L engines and manufactured between April 2009 and January 2010 (Recall 12V‑521). The DIR indicated that the fuel system operating pressures of 5.0L gasoline engine XF vehicles may exceed the design specification under certain conditions, which may result in cracks in the fuel tank outlet flange. In January 2010, JLR changed the design of the tank outlet flange from the original version with no internal ribs, part number 9X23-9A309-AC (?AC flange?), to a revised part with internal ribbing reinforcing the area of the flange at the base of the fuel supply port where the cracks were occurring (?AD flange?). The scope of 12V‑521 included 43 MY 2011-2012 XF vehicles with 5.0L engines that were equipped with the AC flanges as service replacement parts. In addition, in March 2016, JLR recalled 28 additional MY 2010 XF vehicles built with 5.0L engines and AC flanges that were inadvertently excluded from 12V‑521 (Recall 16V‑187). The AD flange was later replaced in production by the AE flange, which had internal ribbing like the AD flange and was used by JLR as the remedy part for 12V‑521 and 16V‑187. All the subject fuel tank flanges (AC, AD & AE) were supplied to JLR by Continental AG (now Vitesco Technologies). By October 2019, JLR had completed the recall remedies for 12V‑521 and 16V‑187 in 4,080 vehicles, resulting in an overall completion rate of 97 percent.On June 28, 2019, ODI opened RQ19-004 to investigate the scope and remedy for recalls 12V‑521 and 16V‑187, based on 30 complaints alleging fuel odor or leakage from the tank flange, including 19 in MY 2010 XF 4.2L vehicles equipped with the AC flange and 11 in MY 2010 through 2012 XF 5.0L vehicles equipped with revised flanges (AD/AE flanges) either as original equipment or as remedy parts under the subject recalls.ODI?s analysis of field data gathered under RQ19-004 identified a total of 51 complaints and field reports and 272 warranty claims related to fuel leakage from cracked flanges in the subject vehicles. Thirty-three (33) of the complaints and field reports and 200 of the warranty claims involved MY 2010 XF 4.2L equipped with the unreinforced AC flange, resulting in a complaint rate of 11.4 incidents per thousand vehicles (IPTV) and a claim rate of 6.9 percent. Twelve (12) of the complaints and field reports and 61 of the warranty claims involved MY 2010 ? 2012 XF 5.0L vehicles equipped with AD/AE flanges as original equipment parts, resulting in a complaint rate of 0.8 IPTV and a claim rate of 0.4 percent. Six (6) of the complaints and 11 of the warranty claims involved vehicles remedied under 12V‑521 or 16V‑187, resulting in a complaint rate of 1.5 IPTV and a claim rate of 0.3 percent.On February 13, 2020, JLR notified the federal safety agency that it was recalling approximately 2,907 model year MY 2010 Jaguar XF vehicles equipped with 4.2L engines and the AC flange to remedy a fuel tank flange cracking defect (Recall 20V‑081). With this recall, there are no remaining products equipped with the unreinforced AC flange that are not under recall. Like the prior recalls, the remedy for 20V‑081 involves replacing the AC flange with a modified part with the internal ribbing reinforcement (AE flange).ODI's analysis indicates that Recall 20V‑081 addresses the scope concerns with tank flange cracking in the subject vehicles. Based on this analysis, this invest

Vehicle has one open recall. Recall has been corrected by Jaguar per their statements. However, refuse to report fix to the federal safety agency so updates can be made to the database.
My car also has the ongoing issue of the panel located between my speedometer and odometer the screen will randomly flicker and go out and then come back on I have notice the temperature when it's hot affects it worse that the winter but it happens all the time which scares me as I don't k ow when my car has issues as this is the only area that it will tell me my car is overheating amongst other notifications I called Jaguar and they want to charge me $3000+ to fix this. This is a defect ND should be replaced and not at the cost of the owner of the vehicle.
I have read several reports of my specific model of car with a flange issue in the fuel rail system and yet my car is not apart of this recall it smells of gas and I'm sure it's regarding this same defect. I have no check engine light on my gas is being consumed at a faster rate than expected and yet I'm being told my car isn't affected which it is. This is the issue why don't you all add these vehicles to the list there are so many.

The contact owns a 2010 Jaguar XF. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 20V081000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, a fuel odor was detected. The dealer and Jaguar West Columbia (12500 New Car Dr, Clarksville, MD 21029) were made aware of the failure but informed the contact that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 104,000. Parts distribution disconnect.
Since purchasing this vehicle, I have noticed the smell of gasoline within the cabin of the vehicle. The smell becomes nauseating after a while. I have three small children who complain about the smell inside the cabin and I worry about their safety as well as their mother’s and mine. There have been recalls regarding this issue with this very vehicle, but for some reason mine is not included in the recall. I have called Jaguar USA and they say the vehicle’s VIN is not listed as one of the ones recalled.
