What's wrong?
The high pressure fuel pump on this 2017 Jaguar F-Pace with the 3.0L engine sends fuel from the tank toward the engine at the pressure needed for combustion. It has to sit tight against its mounting surface so the connected fuel line stays aligned and sealed while the engine vibrates.
In recall 17V491, the problem is the bolt used to hold the pump in place. Some pumps were assembled with 30mm bolts where 25mm bolts belonged. The longer bolt bottoms out in the blind tapped hole before it fully clamps the pump, so the pump is not secured correctly. With the pump loose at its mounting point, the fuel line can crack and leak fuel.
The warning signs are fuel odor near the vehicle and liquid fuel underneath it. If either sign appears, that is the visible clue that the pump connection and fuel line need dealer inspection.
