Fuel leak by model year
What owners say
My vehicle which was stationary began to leak fuel after trying to start the car. There was no leak prior to attempting to start the car nor was there any physical damage or collision to the area.
I noticed a strong fuel smell in the interior and exterior of my vehicle, I replaced my fuel cap but the smell remained, I then taken my vehicle to my local mechanic for a diagnostic check. The results were a cracked/ leaking fuel pump which needed replacing which caused me to miss work because of no transportation due to vehicle being unsafe for travel.

My car is leaking fuel on ground. I was passing someone and noticed my car was reading on the dash losing performance. The mechanic saying exactly what the recall is saying but my VIN doesn't fall under the recall. Also my dashboard is coming up.
I purchased my jaguar used and noticed a fuel smell after driving it a couple of weeks. The dealership replaced the fuel rail which has not corrected the problem. After the rail was replaced, I continued to smell gas and noticed fuel leaking under the rear passenger area of my car when it's sitting stationary, after being driven. The dealership has agreed it's due to a faulty (pt# c2z10550) fuel tank outlet flange which is a known defect/recall for this type of vehicle (j059), however the dealership says it doesn't affect my vehicle as it wasn't manufactured where the vehicle issue originated. All resources I have located suggest most of the vehicles were assembled in bromwich uk, but not all. I'm sure my issue is related because it exactly matches the issue described in the recall and I need help getting this faulty part and labor covered by the dealership. I have already paid thousands on the fuel rail replacement which must not have been the problem to begin with, since the same problem still exists today. This is a fire risk and safety issues that needs addressed.
