The 2012 Jaguar XK has 3 recalls, the most serious being front parking lamps that can shut off after about five minutes of use, reducing how visible the car is to other drivers and raising the risk of a collision.
The parking lamp issue is covered by two separate filings, but both describe the same defect: the lamps are not properly programmed to stay on. On the convertible trim, there is also a concern with the overhead roof console switch, which can inadvertently activate the power windows while the roof is opening or closing, creating a risk of a window pinching a hand or arm.
