Recall number 14V123000 · Recall details

Visibility: windshield wiper/washerReported November 12, 2010 · 6,475 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Jaguar is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 xj vehicles manufactured from july 28, 2009, through november 3, 2010. The front wiper arms to spindle fixings were not torqued to specification during manufacturing.

Recall number 10V578000 · Recall details

Service brakes, hydraulicReported April 30, 2009 · 14,551 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Jaguar is recalling 14,551 my 2004 xj vehicles. A potential concern has been identified with the installation of a noise vibration and harshness (nvh) pad fitted to the under tray and its interaction with the rear under floor brake pipes, rear cross member brake pipes, and their unions. A review of vehicle build conditions provides evidence that a touch condition can exist between the under floor and cross member brake pipes and the nvh pad at the rear of the under floor under tray. Where the touch condition exists, water and dirt can collect and be held in contact with the pipes and their unions, abrade the corrosion protection and reduce the corrosion life of the pipes accordingly.
Risk
Corrosion of the brake pipes can lead to a loss of mechanical integrity of the braking system. This can result in extended brake pedal travel combined with reduced braking performance in the corresponding brake circuit. The instrument cluster may display the warning message 'fluid level low', along with the brake warning lamp being illuminated. In the event of both braking circuits losing integrity at the same time, complete loss of service brakes will occur, thereby potentially causing a vehicle crash.
Remedy
Dealers will remove the under tray at the rear of the vehicle and remove and discard the nvh pad fitted to the rear of the under tray. Dealers will inspect the rear under floor and rear cross member brake pipes and unions for red rust. If red rust is present on the pipes or on the union, the brake pipes and union will be replaced with new components of the same design. This service will be performed free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during may 2009. Owners may contact jaguar at 1‑800‑452‑4827.

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.
Remedy
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.

What is wrong
On certain passenger vehicles, the passenger air bag trim components have a poor aperture edge.
Risk
Should the air bag deploy, it could be cut, causing it to not inflate properly, which increases the risk of injury to the occupant in a crash.
Remedy
