XF, XJ, XK · directional control may be compromised
4 Apr 2014 · R/2014/041
A concern has been identified where in the event of prolonged aggressive driving it is possible that the rear toe link will separate from the rear sub-frame. In this event vehicle stability will be compromised and degree of directional control minimised which increases the risk of an accident.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the nut and washer assembly on the rear toe link with components of revised design.

XF, XK · power assistance may be lost - fire risk
10 Jun 2011 · R/2011/025
The corrosion protection on certain power steering pipes may not be to specification. This could result in pin holes being formed which can leak power steering fluid. Should the power steering fluid contact hot surfaces there is a possibility that fire could occur.
Fix: Recalled vehicles will have the affected power assisted steering fluid pipes replaced.

XF, XK · engine may cut out
23 Aug 2010 · R/2010/103
The engine may cut out due to insufficient fuel being supplied. The fuel pump relay may not be energised following an engine start up cycle in which case the in-tank fuel pump will deliver insufficient fuel for the engine to run correctly.
Fix: Recalled vehicles will be re-programmed with revised software to ensure that when the engine is running the in-tank fuel pump relay remains energised.
2,471 vehicles · built 9 Apr 2008 to 24 May 2010
XK · driver seat side airbag may not deploy correctly
2 Jul 2008 · R/2008/078
It has been identified that on the subject vehicles the side airbags are not defined as passenger and driver but as left and right hand. This has resulted in all vehicles being configured as left hand drive and therefore the system believes the right hand front seat to be the passenger seat. This can result in the driver's side airbag failing to deploy when required due to the system believing that the driver's seat is unoccupied.
Fix: Recalled vehicles will have the control module on all right hand drive vehicles re-configured.
4,815 vehicles · built 30 Aug 2006 to 24 Apr 2008
S TYPE, XJ, XK · auto gearbox may engage reverse when in forward drive.
