  9. F-PACE, XE, XF · fuel hose may leak

    19 May 2017 · R/2017/143

    The fuel return hose may leak. Increased fuel odour may be noticed and drivers may also observe liquid fuel puddles underneath the vehicle. It is possible that fuel may leak onto the road surface which can present a skid hazard to other road users increasing the risk of a crash. Should leaking fuel come into contact with a sufficiently hot surface in the engine bay there will be an increased risk of fire.

    Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel return hose.

    5,140 vehicles · built 1 Nov 2016 to 6 Apr 2017

  10. XE · fuel may leak

    9 Feb 2017 · R/2016/297

    It has been identified that the underfloor mounted diesel fuel cooler may not have been manufactured to specification. This can result in fuel leak. The driver will become aware of the issue by either a smell of fuel pooling of fuel under the vehicle when stationary or by an increase in fuel consumption. Where a leak is present pooling can occur on the road surface which can present a skid hazard to other road users and increase the risk of a crash. In extreme circumstances the pooling of fuel underneath the vehicle could in the presence of an ignition source lead to a fire.

    Fix: Recall all affected vehicle to have the diesel fuel cooler replace with a new quality assured cooler.

    31 Dec 2016 · R/2017/004

    It has been identified by the seat belt Pre-Tensioner manufacturer that the pre-tensioner initiator generant mix ratio does not meet specification. This can therefore result in the initiator not functioning correctly which can lead to none activation of the pre-tensioner.

    Fix: Recall all affected vehicles to check the pre-tentioner and if required replace it with a new quality assured component.

    4,735 vehicles · built 16 Feb 2016 to 16 Dec 2016

    924 vehicles · built 22 Sep 2015 to 23 Mar 2016

  13. XE, XF · engine may cut out and fail to restart

    24 Mar 2016 · R/2016/037

    The under bonnet low pressure fuel feed hose may detach from the fuel filter. A fuel smell may be noticed due to fuel leaking into the engine bay and in the event of hose detachment the engine will cut out. Once the engine has cut out the brake vacuum reservoir will be depleted after 2-3 brake pedal depressions and the vehicle will lose brake power assistance however foundation brakes continue to operate. The engine cannot be re-started. Engine cut out with minimal warning could potentially cause a crash.

    Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and add a spring wire retention clip to the low pressure fuel feed hose joint.
