Plain-English summary
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 Jaguar XK and model year 2010 Jaguar XF vehicles equipped with V8 5.0L gasoline engines. The recall addresses a defect in the in-tank electric fuel pump system where the fuel pump relay may not be energized following a vehicle start-up cycle. This issue can result in an inadequate supply of fuel to the engine.
The defect can cause fuel starvation, leading to engine stumble and a subsequent engine cut-out with minimal warning. This sudden loss of power could potentially cause a crash. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before August 30, 2010.
