Jaguar is recalling 13 model-year 2013 XF sedans due to a problem in the electrical system that could affect the fuel pump and cause engine stalling, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
In the affected vehicles, manufactured from Oct. 3 to Oct. 12, 2012, the electronic modules that control the fuel pump may shut down, causing the pump to stop. The resulting fuel starvation will cause the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
Jaguar will begin notifying owners on Jan. 18 and dealers will install an additional wiring harness to the in-tank fuel pump for free. Owners may call Jaguar customer service at 855-524-8278 or NHTSA at 888-327-4236; for more info, go to www.safercar.gov.
