Fuel Cap Filler Cap Seal Durability - Revised Seal Ring - RECALL R955

Issue:

A concern has been identified on a number of 2004 MY X-TYPE vehicles. The fuel tank filler cap seal is soft and does not provide an adequate or durable seal, resulting in fuel vapor escaping and illumination of the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) on the instrument panel. In the event of a vehicle roll over, it is possible for fuel to leak past the fuel cap. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.

Jaguar Cars has made the decision to recall 2004 MY 2.5 liter and 3.0 liter X-TYPE vehicles, listed in this bulletin, to replace the fuel tank filler cap seal.

A number of vehicles have been repaired at the Port of Entry facility. This Recall Action affects vehicles that are outside of the control of the Port of Entry facilities and any sold vehicles that have not yet been repaired.

Action:
































Check the VIN list's shown or DDW to determine validity of the vehicle against the Recall Action to ensure that the fuel tank filler cap seal has not already been renewed at the port, prior to carrying out any repair. DDW will be updated to reflect those vehicles affected by this Recall Action.

At the time of confirming a booking for vehicle repair, please ensure that any outstanding Field Service Actions are identified to ensure the correct parts are available and adequate workshop time is allocated for repairs to be completed at one visit.
