8 recalls across 7 model years
The Jaguar XK has 8 recalls spanning the 2006–2015 production run, with the most serious being a fuel pump relay fault on 2010–2011 models where the in-tank pump fails to activate after starting, starving the engine of fuel and causing it to cut out with little warning.
The 2010 model year also has a power steering fluid leak: the hydraulic lines can corrode due to inadequate plating and allow fluid to escape, which reduces steering assistance. On 2006 models, the accelerator pedal assembly can have reduced clearance from the brake pedal, raising the risk of both pedals being pressed simultaneously or the accelerator being held down by the pedal stop.
The 2012–2015 model years share a parking lamp issue where the front side lamps can shut off after roughly five minutes of operation, reducing how visible the car is to other drivers at night or in low light. The 2013–2015 XKR and XKR-S models with the 5.0L engine have a tire placard that lists no inflation pressure for the spare wheel, leaving owners without guidance on how to properly inflate it.
On 2011–2014 convertible models, the overhead roof console switch can activate the power windows while the convertible roof is opening or closing, and the switch does not move in the direction needed to close the windows during that sequence, creating a pinch risk for hands or fingers near the window opening.
