Recall 12V571 affects 9 2013 Jaguar Xf vehicles for fuel-pump module shutoff that stalls the engine. Repair is free at any franchised Jaguar dealer.
Jaguar is recalling 9 2013 Xf vehicles because the electronic modules that control the fuel pump can shut down and stop fuel flow. This can stall the engine without warning, causing loss of motive power, power-assisted braking, and power-assisted steering, which increases crash risk; the Jaguar dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The recall centers on the electronic modules that control the fuel pump in certain gasoline-powered 2013 Jaguar Xf vehicles. The fuel pump draws gasoline from the tank and sends a steady supply to the engine. The control modules tell the pump when to run, so the engine gets fuel at the pressure it needs.
On affected Xf vehicles, those control modules can shut down. When that happens, the fuel pump stops pumping fuel even though the engine is still running. The engine is then starved of gasoline and stalls because combustion cannot continue without fuel.
There is no warning sign before failure. The recall does not identify a warning light, sound, smell, or drivability change that alerts the driver before the fuel pump stops and the engine stalls.

What's the safety risk?
An engine stall without warning while driving can cut motive power, power assisted braking, and power assisted steering. Those losses increase crash risk because the vehicle is harder to move, slow, and steer. Schedule the recall repair soon and drive cautiously until it is complete. Repair will be free at any franchised Jaguar dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013 Jaguar Xf is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Jaguar dealer and ask whether the free added wiring harness for the in-tank fuel pump is available for your VIN.
- Reference recall number 12V571 when you call so the dealer can find the correct Jaguar recall.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, plus any paperwork tied to fuel-pump or engine-stall service.
- Pull over safely and call for assistance if the engine stalls or you lose power-assisted steering or braking before the repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jaguar technician installs an additional wiring harness to the in-tank fuel pump. The added harness addresses the fuel pump control circuit so the pump keeps receiving the electrical control it needs. The dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall. Ask the service desk to confirm that the harness installation is complete before you pick up the vehicle.
