The 2018 Jaguar XE has 3 recalls, the most serious being a fuel rail end cap that can leak fuel vapor or liquid into the engine bay, raising the risk of a fire near hot engine or exhaust components.
On the structural side, certain vehicles that previously had a rear rail assembly replaced as part of a service repair may have missing spot welds in that assembly. This weakens the rear structure and can allow the rear bumper beam to break free while being towed, or the tow-bar connection to detach when pulling a trailer. There is also an electrical concern where the instrument cluster can go blank without warning, wiping out speed and other key readings and raising the risk of a crash.
