Jaguar Xf: Fire May Occur

Jaguar XF Recall Summary Jaguar is recalling 14,784 XF vehicles because fuel can leak from a connection between the fuel injector spill rail and the plastic return pipe. This leaked fuel may pool on the engine or drip onto the road, creating a skid hazard, or it could ignite if it contacts hot engine parts like the exhaust manifold, potentially causing an engine fire. Dealers will inspect the fuel spill rail and return pipe connection, and replace the spill rail with a modified version if needed.
