The 2006 Jaguar XJ has 3 recalls, the most serious being a transmission parking pawl defect that can allow the vehicle to roll away even when the shifter is moved to Park and the display confirms it.
On the fuel system side, seals inside the fuel tank around the fuel delivery and jet pump modules may not stay properly seated, which can cause fuel to leak onto the ground and produce a fuel odor in or around the vehicle. The third recall involves the moonroof: a reinforcement bar inside the assembly can press against the glass and create a stress point, meaning the glass may shatter when a door is slammed, the car hits a hard bump, or the moonroof is operated normally.

At a glance
What can fail
A guide plate in the transmission may be made incorrectly, preventing the parking pawl from engaging. When you shift to PARK, the indicator shows PARK but the pawl doesn't lock, allowing the vehicle to roll on inclines if the parking brake isn't set.
What the fix does
Dealers will replace the parking pawl guide plate to restore proper PARK engagement.
