Jaguar Xe: Fuel Hose May Leak

Jaguar Fuel Hose Recall Summary Jaguar is recalling approximately 15,420 vehicles (XE, F-PACE, and XF models) because the fuel return hose may leak. A leaking hose could cause fuel odor, fuel puddles under the vehicle, or fuel on the road surface, which could create a skid hazard or fire risk if fuel contacts hot engine components. Jaguar will replace the affected fuel return hose.

Vehicles: JAGUAR XE, JAGUAR F-PACE, JAGUAR XF. Units affected: 15,420

Reason

The fuel return hose may leak. Increased fuel odour may be noticed and drivers may also observe liquid fuel puddles underneath the vehicle. It is possible that fuel may leak onto the road surface which can present a skid hazard to other road users increasing the risk of a crash. Should leaking fuel come into contact with a sufficiently hot surface in the engine bay there will be an increased risk of fire. Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel return hose.
