2004 Jaguar X-Type recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain passenger vehicles, when replace the fuel filler cap to the vehicle's fuel tank filler neck, it is possible to over-tighten the cap inducing a poor seal. In the event of a vehicle roll-over, it is possible for fuel to leak past the fuel filler cap.
💥 The risk
Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will remove the fuel cap seals and fit better quality seals onto the vehicle. The recall began on october 1, 2004. Customers may also contact jaguar at 1-800-452-4827.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
