2007 Jaguar S-Type recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain passenger vehicles were inadvertently released after being assembled with prototype fuel tanks that were produced for test purposes only.
💥 The risk
The tanks were manufactured with processes that vary significantly from regular production. The durability of these prototype fuel tanks has not been validated and is unknown.
🔧 The fix
These vehicles have not been released to customers and are located at dealer lots . The fuel tank will be replaced.
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.)
