1980 JAGUAR XJS Recalls (4)
- Campaign:
- 81V134000 on 10/29/1981
- Component:
- Fuel system, gasoline:fuel injection system:fuel rail
- Manufactured:
- 03/31/1980 - 08/31/1981
- Affected:
- 4,630
- Defect:
- Certain vehicles could be subject to a fuel leakage in the engine compartment due to the possibility of deterioration in the integrity of the high pressure fuel hose connections.
- Correction:
- All affected hoses and attachment clips will be replaced at no charge to owner.
- Notes:
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles.system: fuel systems; fuel hoses.consequences of defect: as these fuel hoses are pressurized, a reduction in theeffective clamping load of the attachment clips could allow fuel leakage,possibly leading to a vehicle fire and injury to vehicle occupants withoutwarning.note: the owner is advised to inspect the engine compartment, with the enginerunning, for evidence of fuel leakage or fuel odor.
- Campaign:
- 83V135000 on 01/10/1984
- Component:
- Fuel system, gasoline:fuel injection system:fuel rail
- Manufactured:
- 07/31/1979 - 04/30/1983
- Affected:
- 3,500
- Defect:
- Fuel leakage may develop at the two main fuel rail connections. deterioration at these two connections has been traced to a combination of misalignment of the two rail halves and the effect of temperature changes.
- Correction:
- Dealer will replace the current two piece fuel rail with a new part kit of single piece design.
- Notes:
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles.system: fuel; fuel injection distribution plumbing.consequences of defect: leaking fuel could lead to a vehicle fire and personalinjury.note: owners are advised to promptly check the engine compartment for evidenceof fuel leakage. if any fuel is found on or around the top of the engine whilethe engine is cold and the ignition switch is on, the vehicle should not beoperated.
- Campaign:
- 85V087000 on 07/23/1985
- Component:
- Fuel system, gasoline:fuel injection system:fuel rail
- Manufactured:
- 11/30/1979 - 05/31/1985
- Affected:
- 10,000
- Defect:
- Possible fuel leakage from the engine fuel injection system, particularly in the area of the hose/clip fittings. consequence of defect: the presence of an ignition source, with fuel leakage, could result in an engine compartment fire or the destruction of ignition distributor cap.
- Correction:
- A new fuel delivery system designed to eliminate fuel hose clips will be installed.
- Notes:
- Vehicle description: passenger cars.system: fuel injector.
- Campaign:
- 90V123000 on 09/25/1990
- Component:
- Fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly
- Manufactured:
- 09/30/1977 - 09/30/1990
- Affected:
- 35,000
- Defect:
- Excessive fuel vapor pressure can occur that, after prolonged cycling, could weaken the fuel tank structure.
- Consequence:
- This can cause fuel tank leaks which, in the presence ofan ignition source, could result in a vehicle fire.
- Correction:
- Install a revised fuel purge system which eliminates excessive vapor pressure build-up.
- Notes:
- System: fuel tank - fuel purge system.vehicle description: passenger cars; 2 door coupe, cabriolet, convertible.
