Exterior lighting
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain model year 2012-2015 Jaguar XK vehicles manufactured March 4, 2011, to March 20, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the front side lamps (parking lamps) may turn off after approximately 5 minutes. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Risk and remedy
Risk: If the parking lamps turn off, the vehicle will have reduced conspicuity, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will update software that controls the front side lamps, free of charge. The recall began March 5, 2015. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is J049.
Electrical system
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain model year 2011-2014 XK convertible vehicles manufactured October 1, 2010, through August 1, 2013. The switch in the overhead roof console also activates the power operated windows when the convertible roof is opening or closing. The switch does not move downward to close the windows. Therefore, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 118, "Power-Operated Window, Partition, and Roof Panel Systems."
Risk and remedy
Risk: The power windows may inadvertently be activated and pinch or injure an arm or finger.
Remedy: Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the overhead roof console, free of charge. The recall began on October 1, 2013. Owners may contact Jaguar at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's recall number is J030.

Certain vehicles equipped with a convertible roof fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 118 – Power-Operated Window, Partition and Roof Panel Systems. The overhead switch (which operates the convertible roof and the power windows) does not operate in the manner prescribed by the Standard. This could result in inadvertent power window activation, which could cause injury if a body part becomes trapped by a closing window. Correction: Dealers will replace the overhead roof console assembly with an updated version.
