Defect
This recall is for certain replacement engines. The oil filter housing may not have been manufactured properly. Over time, the housing could crack and cause oil to leak onto hot components in the engine compartment.
Safety Risk
Oil that leaks onto hot components can create the risk of a fire. Additionally, an oil leak could create a hazard for others and increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
None of the affected engines have been installed in vehicles. Jaguar will instruct dealers to replace the oil filter housing assembly before each engine is installed.
