Jaguar Xf: Engine May Cut Out And Fail To Restart

Recall Summary Jaguar is recalling 33,346 XF and XE vehicles because a fuel hose connection under the hood may come loose, causing the engine to shut off without warning and preventing restart. If this happens, the brake power assistance will be lost after a few brake pedal presses, though basic braking will still work. Jaguar will fix the problem by installing a spring wire clip to secure the fuel hose connection.

Product

Vehicles: JAGUAR XF, JAGUAR XE. Units affected: 33,346

Reason

The under bonnet low pressure fuel feed hose may detach from the fuel filter. A fuel smell may be noticed due to fuel leaking into the engine bay and in the event of hose detachment the engine will cut out. Once the engine has cut out the brake vacuum reservoir will be depleted after 2-3 brake pedal depressions and the vehicle will lose brake power assistance however foundation brakes continue to operate. The engine cannot be re-started. Engine cut out with minimal warning could potentially cause a crash. Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and add a spring wire...
