Fuel economy data from fueleconomy.gov (EPA / U.S. Dept. of Energy). Annual cost based on 15,000 mi/yr at 55% city driving and current fuel prices. MPG is U.S. gallons; L/100km converted. Ranges reflect the 4 tested variants for this model year.
The 2015 Jaguar XF complaint set is relatively small, but the fuel and propulsion system draws the most reports. Owners describe engine failures at relatively modest mileages, one recurring theme is an engine losing compression in a single cylinder, requiring full replacement around 80,000 miles. The electrical system is the next most-reported area, with owners describing complete loss of power while driving, steering lockup, and failure to start. Several reports connect these events to charging system faults, with the crankshaft pulley mentioned in connection with the charging failure and subsequent steering lock. Central locking inoperability after a battery replacement also comes up. Airbag complaints round out the notable systems, though with only two reports that category remains thin. The steering lockup pattern, appearing in multiple complaints and sometimes occurring in traffic, is the most consistent symptom thread outside of engine compression loss.

Fire-Related
By System
The 2015 Jaguar XF has 4 recalls, the most serious involving a potential fuel leak from underfloor fuel lines that can rub against the underbody, creating a fire risk if fuel reaches an ignition source, and a Takata airbag inflator that can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin — both affecting vehicles with the 2.0L engine or registered in high-humidity regions.
The airbag concerns extend beyond the passenger side. A separate recall covers the driver's frontal airbag, where a missing chemical enhancer can cause the second stage of deployment to fire incorrectly in certain crashes, meaning the bag may not fully protect the driver when it matters most. On the mechanical side, also limited to vehicles with the 2.0L engine, the bolt securing an idler pulley on the engine's accessory drive can break free, causing the power steering pump to stop receiving drive power and leaving the steering wheel significantly heavier to turn, particularly at low speeds or when maneuvering in tight spaces.
At a glance
What can fail
The passenger front air bag inflator may explode during deployment because the propellant degrades after years of exposure to humidity and temperature changes.
What the fix does
Dealers will replace the front passenger air bag assembly at no cost.

What can fail
Fuel delivery lines under the vehicle may not have enough clearance from the shield and body, causing them to rub and potentially leak fuel.
What the fix does
Dealers will check fuel lines for damage, replace them if needed, and install additional clips to prevent rubbing.
