2014 Jaguar XK recalls

Recall 15V-038: Exterior Lighting

Reported Jan 27, 2015 · 4,787 vehicles affected · Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC

Problem: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain model year 2012-2015 Jaguar XK vehicles manufactured March 4, 2011, to March 20, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the front side lamps (parking lamps) may turn off after approximately 5 minutes. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Risk: If the parking lamps turn off, the vehicle will have reduced conspicuity, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will update software that controls the front side lamps, free of charge. The recall began March 5, 2015. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is J049.

Recall 14V-389: Equipment, Tires

Problem: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 XK (XKR and XKR-S) vehicles manufactured August 24, 2012, to June 10, 2014, and equipped with a 5.0L engine. The tire placard has incorrect information for the spare tire stating "none" for the inflation pressure of the spare wheel. Thus, these vehicles do not comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110, "Tire Selection and Rims for Passenger Cars."

Risk: If the recommended pressure for the spare tire is not provided, the tire may not be properly inflated which may result in its failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and, as necessary, attach a corrected tire placard label stating the tire size and pressure, free of charge. The recall began on August 29, 2014. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is J041.

Reported Mar 31, 2014 · 297 vehicles affected · Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC

Problem: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 XJ, XF and XK vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the toe links, components used to control the alignment of the rear wheels, can separate from the rear sub-frame.

Risk: If a toe link separates from the rear sub-frame, a loss of vehicle stability and directional control may result, increasing the risk of a crash.

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.

Fuel/Propulsion System · at 29,369 miles · reported Aug 3, 2018
The fuel line became disconnected from the top of the fuel pump and fuel leaked onto the asphalt. . This happened while the car was parked in a parking lot. It was repaired by the dealer who found that the connection point of the fuel line on the "top hat"had opened and that the top hat was damaged. This connection is at the top of the fuel tank and was never serviced, it appears that the.connection failed due the polymer material deteriorating and cracking.
Wheels · at 550 miles · reported Sep 15, 2014
This car (As well as several other sports cars) comes with high performance tires with so little traction in rain and snow that they totally defeat the purpose of the anti-lock brakes and stability control systems. These tires are so smooth that they will hydro-plane at 30 MPH during a hard rain. In only inch of snow, the anti-lock brakes and stability control systems do not work at all do to the total absence of traction. Above 5 MPH in inch of snow there is no steering control as there is not enough traction. What is the purpose of mandating anti-lock brakes and stability control when you…
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) · at 1,400 miles · reported Dec 23, 2013
I bought a new xk in august. I have to question the rationale for equipping it with high performance tires (Virtual racing slicks) in minnesota. On a warm summer day with only a little rain, the tires lose traction frequently. In winter they are downright dangerous. Even with only an inch of snow, the front wheels lose traction in going around a corner at only five miles an hour. The real wheels have so little traction that even with the traction control and stability control systems turned on, the rear end fishtails when turning. Our street is flat and yet, with only a little snow on the…
