- The problem
- Certain replacement fuel filters, fram brand name p/n g3727, with date codes x52911 through x60801 sequentially or x600141 and a mexico country or origin marking on the fuel filter housing manufactured from october 18, 2005, through march 21, 2006, sold for use on the vehicles listed above and on certain school buses. (To see the school bus engine sizes, click on "document search" and then "bus applications"). The connector on the fuel filter was not manufactured to honeywell's specification. As a result, the o-ring may not seat correctly on the fuel line.
- The risk
- This condition may cause an inadequate seal at the connection, potentially leading to a fuel leak. In the presence of an ignition source, a fire could occur.
- The fix
- Honeywell will notify owners and replace the fuel filters free of charge. The recall began on october 18, 2006. Owners may contact fram customer service at 1-800-890-2075 (option 1).

jacksonville, florida. It has now happened for a second time. My friend with a same car had the same thing happen 4 weeks ago with fluid spraying all over the front of the car. The internet is replete with dissatisfied owners with this problem in xk8/xkr?S from 1999-2005 or so. Hydraulic fluid spraying on drivers while operating a vehicle must be recognized as a significant hazard. I have not seen any response from jaguar on this issue. These are not rare occurrences, but are commonplace. Hydraulic fluid is flammable and may be toxic if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. A recall should be considered. Your response would be appreciated. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(B)(6). *Tr
