Jaguar XF Problems by year

tank was approximately half full. An independent mechanic inspected the vehicle and identified a cracked flange on top of the fuel tank. The mechanic confirmed that gasoline was leaking from the cracked flange and showed me visible gasoline leakage underneath the vehicle. There was no check engine light or other warning indicating a fuel system malfunction. This condition presents a serious fire hazard because gasoline is escaping from the fuel system, and gasoline vapors can enter the passenger compartment. I am concerned about the safety of the driver, passengers, and others near the vehicle. The failure appears similar to the cracked fuel tank outlet flange condition described in Jaguar safety recall J027 (NHTSA recall 12V-521). On October 20, 2026, an authorized Jaguar dealership informed me in writing that the vehicle's VIN was not associated with any open safety campaigns. The dealership offered a paid diagnostic inspection but declined goodwill repair assistance. The dealership did not physically inspect the vehicle. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this potentially related fuel system failure and determine whether the recall population should be reviewed. The vehicle has not been repaired and is currently being kept off the road because of the fire risk. I have obtained Jaguar Technical Bulletin J027NAS2, dated May 7, 2013, concerning Safety Recall J027 for a cracked fuel tank fuel outlet mounting flange. The bulletin identifies 2010-2012

mph causing an almost deadly crash. These have not been ordinary slow leaks. The failures have occurred suddenly and have created a serious safety concern. I am now extremely concerned about operating the vehicle on the fourth remaining matching tire. I have photographs of the remaining tire and can provide photographs via the service rep Joe@Jaguar and documentation regarding the previous failures, dealer repair/replacement records, mileage, tire pressures, and DOT/TIN information. Because three out of four tires have experienced serious failures, I am requesting that this matter be treated as an urgent potential safety-defect issue rather than simply as an individual road-hazard or routine warranty claim. The second failure was treated by Jaguar Dallas Darrick my service rep on July 14th , 2026(approx. 5 weeks earlier) with the first tire instance June 1, 2026. You can imagine how upsetting this is considering this happened twice while on I-35 going 70 mph. TWC is my tire warranty company and replaced the damaged wheel as well.

were broken/loose, which can cause excessive engine movement, vibration, loss of power, or engine shifting during braking or acceleration. These conditions increase the risk of stalling or sudden shutdown, which is consistent with what occurred during my incident. The failed components are: • The driver-side seatbelt locking mechanism • The motor mounts/engine mounting system Both components remain on the vehicle. The seatbelt failure left me unrestrained while driving. The vehicle then shifted into Park and shut off in the middle of traffic, creating a risk of being struck by other vehicles or losing control. The broken motor mounts increase the risk of engine movement, stalling, or shutdown while driving, which could lead to loss of steering control or sudden deceleration in traffic. Yes. A CarMax mechanic at the Tuscaloosa, AL location confirmed both defects: As mentioned above The vehicle was inspected by CarMax Tuscaloosa. Jaguar Birmingham declined inspection because they do not service Jaguars older than 2018. An independent Jaguar specialist declined inspection due to prior non-payment issues with CarMax. No manufacturer, police, or insurance inspection has occurred. There were no warning lamps or messages prior to the failure. The seatbelt malfunction occurred suddenly. The engine shutdown occurred immediately after the seatbelt unlatched while braking. The vehicle remains unsafe to drive due to the unreliable seatbelt, broken motor mounts.
