What's wrong?
The tire placard on a 2013-2015 Jaguar Xk is the label that tells an owner the correct tire size and inflation pressure. It includes the spare tire because the spare has to be inflated to the right pressure before it is used on the road. That pressure target helps the tire carry the vehicle load and respond as designed.
On affected Xk vehicles with the 5.0L engine, the placard gives the wrong spare tire information. Instead of listing the spare wheel inflation pressure, it states "none." That leaves the owner without the required pressure number when checking or using the temporary spare, and it means the vehicle does not meet the federal tire placard standard.
The placard error does not create a warning light, noise, or change in how the car drives before the spare is used. There is no warning sign before failure.
Who's affected?
The same vehicle label and temporary spare tire issues apply across all 3 model years.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific car is included.
What's the safety risk?
Without the correct spare tire pressure on the placard, an owner can inflate the spare incorrectly. An underinflated or overinflated spare can fail in use and increase the risk of a crash. Check the corrected label information before relying on the spare, and schedule the recall work. Repair will be free at any franchised Jaguar dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013-2015 Jaguar Xk is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Jaguar dealer to ask whether recall 14V389 is open for your VIN.
- Ask the dealer to inspect the tire placard and attach the corrected spare-tire pressure label that gives the spare tire inflation pressure.
- Bring the owner letter if Jaguar sent one. If not, reference recall number 14V389 when you call.
- Use the spare tire only with the correct inflation pressure listed on the corrected placard or confirmed by the dealer.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jaguar technician inspects the tire placard label for the spare tire information. If the label gives the wrong spare tire size or pressure information, the technician attaches a corrected tire placard label. The filing says this recall began on August 29, 2014, but this section does not have current remedy availability status. Once the dealer repair is available for your VIN, the inspection and corrected label are free under the recall.
