Jaguar is recalling 13 units of the 2013 XF sedan due to a problem which could cause the fuel pumps to shut down. The affected vehicles were built from October 3, 2012 through October 12, 2012.
"The electronic modules which control the fuel pump may shut down, causing the fuel pump to stop pumping fuel," said NHTSA in its summary of the problem. "The resulting fuel starvation will cause the engine to stall."
"An engine stall without warning while driving may lead to a loss of motive power, a loss of power-assisted braking and a loss of power-assisted steering. Each of these conditions may increase the risk of a vehicle crash."
The British carmaker said that there have been no reports of accidents or injuries linked to the recall.
The recall is expected to begin on, or before, January 18, 2013 and dealers will install an additional wiring harness to the in-tank fuel pump, free of charge. For further information, owners can contact Jaguar at 1-800-452-4827 or NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236.
