Jaguar Recalls 2013 XJ and XF Vehicles for Missing Certification Labels

Jaguar is recalling 2013 XJ and XF vehicles because they lack required certification labels specifying weight ratings. This non-compliance could lead to vehicle overloading and increased crash risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (potential vehicle overload leading to crash) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain model year 2013 Jaguar XJ and XF vehicles manufactured between March 26, 2013, and April 10, 2013. The recall addresses a defect where the certification label, which is required to specify the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), front and rear Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR), manufacture date, and country of manufacture, is absent from these vehicles. Consequently, the vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Part 567, "Certification."

The absence of this label means the vehicle's weight range is not clearly specified, which could result in the vehicle being overloaded. Overloading increases the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will re-acquire the affected vehicles. Owners will be provided a replacement vehicle or a full refund of the purchase price, free of charge. Owners may contact Jaguar at 1-855-524-8278 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
