The 2012 Jaguar XK has 3 recalls, the most serious being a convertible roof control switch that can activate the power windows without warning, creating a pinch risk for fingers or arms caught in the closing glass.
The parking lamp recalls cover the same underlying problem: the front parking lamps can switch off on their own after roughly five minutes of operation, leaving the car less visible to other drivers in low-light conditions, which raises the risk of a collision. The remaining recall affects convertible models specifically: when the roof is in motion, the overhead console switch that controls the roof can also trigger the power windows, but the switch lacks the ability to reverse that movement, meaning a window closing on a hand or arm cannot be stopped through normal operation of the same switch.
