Jaguar XJ6

Defect: CERTAIN VEHICLES MAY BE FITTED WITH AN UNAUTHORIZED FUEL PUMP ELECTRICAL INERTIA SWITCH. THIS SWITCH HAS A TIN COATING ADDED TO THE CONTACTS THAT CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR A HIGH ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE. THIS COULD CAUSE OVERHEATING AND POSSIBLE DISTORTION OF THE PLASTIC MOUNTING AROUND THE FIXED CONTACT. THIS COULD RESULT IN INABILITY TO START THE VEHICLE SINCE THERE IS A FLOW OF CURRENT TO THE FUEL PUMP.

Manufacturer fix: DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE INERTIA SWITCH AT NO COST TO OWNER.

Defect: UNDER A COMBINATION OF CIRCUMSTANCES IN COLD WEATHER, ICING MAY PREVENT RETURN OF THE THROTTLE BUTTERFLY TO THE IDLE POSITION.

Manufacturer fix: THE DEALER WILL FIT COOLANT HEATED THROTTLE BODIES ON ALL VEHICLES AT NO COST TO OWNERS.

Defect: THE IGNITION AMPLIFIER MAY CONTACT AND SCORE THE FUEL FILTER. OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, SCORING OF THE FILTER CAN CAUSE FUEL LEAKAGE.

Manufacturer fix: DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, ADJUST FUEL FILTER BRACKETS AND REPLACE FILTER WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.

Defect: THE SELECTOR QUADRANT SPIRAL RETAINING PIN MAY WORK ITS WAY OUT OF POSITION SO THAT THE VEHICLE COULD REMAIN IN GEAR WHEN SELECTOR LEVER IS MOVED INTO THE "PARK" POSITION.

Manufacturer fix: DEALER WILL SECURE SPIRAL PIN USING A RETAINING PIN TO PERMANENTLY LOCK IT IN POSITION.

Defect: THE EXHAUST DOWNPIPES INSTALLED ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY NOT PERMIT PROPER CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE DOWNPIPES AND THE STEERING COLUMN LOWER JOINTS. UPON MAKING A HARD FULL RIGHT TURN, THE EXHAUST DOWNPIPE AND STEERING COLUMN COULD COME INTO CONTACT WITH EACH OTHER. THIS COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL.

Manufacturer fix: DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE EXHAUST DOWNPIPE WITH ONE OF MODIFIED SHAPE, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.

Defect: IF THE TRANSMISSION IS OVERFILLED, THE POSSIBILITY OF OVERSPILL ARISES UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS DUE TO THE NEWLY INSTALLED TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID MAY SPILL ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD OR CATALYTIC CONVERTER.

Manufacturer fix: DEALER WILL REPLACE THE DIPSTICK AT NO CHARGE.
