What's wrong?
On 2018 Jaguar F-Pace, E-Pace, F-Type, Xf, and Xe vehicles with the 2.0L gasoline engine, the fuel rail feeds gasoline to the fuel injectors. The rail sits under the hood and holds fuel under pressure so each injector receives a steady supply while the engine runs.
The problem is at the fuel rail end caps, the sealed ends of that rail. The brazing that joins those caps to the rail was inconsistent, so the ends do not always seal as designed. Over time, fuel vapor or liquid fuel can escape from the rail and enter the engine bay.
The warning sign is fuel smell. The driver can notice gasoline odor, and liquid fuel can be visible under the hood if the leak has started. Treat either sign as a reason to call a Jaguar dealer before continuing to use the vehicle.
Who's affected?
Covers five Jaguar model lines from the same model year, all tied to the fuel rail in the gasoline fuel-injection system.
