Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

Latest May 19, 2006
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

RE: [XXX] JAGUAR 2001 XKR # [XXX] DEAR SIR; MY 2001 XKR IS LEAKING HYDRAULIC FLUID AT THE ROOF LATCH FOR THE SECOND TIME. IT LEAKS HYDRAULIC FLUID ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE FLUID ESCAPES FROM AN AREA BY THE GARAGE DOOR OPENER. IT IS LEAKING FROM A DEFECTIVE FITTING ON THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF LATCH LOCATED AT THE TOP OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. IT WAS ORIGINALLY FIXED ON 23 OCTOBER 2006 AT MATHENY IMPORTS IN JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED FOR A SECOND TIME. MY FRIEND WITH A SAME CAR HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN 4 WEEKS AGO WITH FLUID SPRAYING ALL OVER THE FRONT OF THE CAR. THE INTERNET IS REPLETE WITH DISSATISFIED OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM IN XK8/XKR?S FROM 1999-2005 OR SO. HYDRAULIC FLUID SPRAYING ON DRIVERS WHILE OPERATING A VEHICLE MUST BE RECOGNIZED AS A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY RESPONSE FROM JAGUAR ON THIS ISSUE. THESE ARE NOT RARE OCCURRENCES, BUT ARE COMMONPLACE. HYDRAULIC FLUID IS FLAMMABLE AND MAY BE TOXIC IF INHALED OR ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN. A RECALL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. YOUR RESPONSE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

A customer may report "Hood Open" message displays on IP with hood closed.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
