What's wrong?
The fuel tank outlet flange on the 2010 Jaguar Xf is the fitting where fuel leaves the tank and moves into the rest of the gasoline fuel system. It has to stay sealed while the tank flexes with road vibration, temperature changes, and normal fuel movement. When that seal holds, fuel stays inside the tank and the system can feed the engine without leaking.
On affected Xf vehicles, the outlet flange can crack. Once the flange cracks, gasoline can escape from the tank and leak onto the ground instead of staying contained. The recall information does not identify a public root cause, so the practical issue for an owner is the cracked tank fitting and the fuel leak it creates.
There is no warning sign before failure. After the flange has cracked, an owner can notice fuel on the ground near the vehicle or a gasoline smell around the rear of the car.
