1990 JAGUAR XJS Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1990 Jaguar XJS has two recalls of equal severity: a cruise control system that may fail to disengage, leaving the driver unable to reduce speed without manually braking or shifting, and a fuel tank that can develop a leak and catch fire. The cruise control issue stems from dirt contaminating the actuator valves, which can cause the system to hold throttle even when the driver tries to cancel it. On the fuel side, excessive vapor pressure building inside the tank over time can weaken the tank structure until it leaks, creating a fire risk if that fuel contacts an ignition source.
