The problem
Jaguar is recalling certain model year 2010 vehicles. The fuel transfer pipe in the fuel tank may be kinked. This may restricts fuel being transferred from one side of the fuel tank to the fuel pump causing fuel starvation at low fuel levels.
The risk
Fuel starvation to the engine can cause the engine to stall without warning and could potentially cause a crash.
The fix
Dealers will have the fuel tank assembly repaired free of charge. The safety recall began on november 30, 2009. Owners may contact jaguar at 1-800-452-4827.
