Is the 2014 Jaguar XF recalled in the UK or Europe?
Recalls issued by the UK's DVSA and through the EU's Safety Gate system that cover this model and build period. European models can differ from U.S. ones, and "years estimated" means the recall gave no build dates, so confirm your own car with your registration or VIN.
UK DVSASecurity Guidance
Risk: Jaguar Land Rover in conjunction with law enforcement and insurance bodies is aware of the increase in thefts of vehicles in specific geographical locations within the United Kingdom. There is no fault with Jaguar Land Rover's security systems and they continue to meet stringent automotive legislation. Jaguar Land Rover is offering owners guidance on how to maximise vehicle security and protect against theft
Fix: Vehicle registered keepers will be sent a security guidance letter only - there is no repair action.
UK DVSAVehicles failed to achieve required levels of co2 emissions
Risk: Vehicles failed to routinely achieve the required levels of CO2 emissions.
Fix: Solutions include hardware and software changes.
UK DVSASide curtain airbag may not deploy
Risk: The electrical harness from the Restraints Control Module (RCM) to side crash sensors has been incorrectly orientated. The RCM signal wire for the right hand C Pillar impact sensor is wired to the left hand C Pillar impact sensor and vice versa. In the event of a collision requiring the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) to deploy the curtain airbags they may not deploy or deploy later than design intent which can lead to increased injuries to the rear outboard seat occupant.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and repair the harness to change the wiring at the RCM connector.
UK DVSAFuel may leak / risk of fire
Risk: It has been identified that the fuel delivery line/pipe may not have been installed to the correct specification. This could result in the incorrect tolerance between the fuel line/pipe and the vehicle under shield and the body. This can result in a chaffing condition and fuel leak. This will be highlighted to the driver by either a smell of fuel or pooling of fuel under the vehicle.
Fix: Recall the affected vehicles to inspect the clearance between the under shield and the body and carry out remedial work as required which may only be the fitment of additional retaining clips or the replacement of any damaged fuel line/pipe.
UK DVSAPossible loss of steering assistance
Risk: The auxiliary drive belt pulley retainer may fail and cause loss of drive to auxiliary items including the water pump and power steering pump. This may cause an engine management lamp to illuminate engine overheating or a reduction in steering assistance though steering control will be maintained.
Fix: On affected vehicles replace auxiliary belt idler pulley and retainer.
UK DVSADriver's front airbag may fail to deploy correctly
Risk: Due to incorrect assembly the driver's airbag may not fully deploy during certain high speed collision conditions.
Fix: On affected vehicles replace driver's airbag
UK DVSAEngine may cut out and fail to restart
Risk: The under bonnet low pressure fuel feed hose may detach from the fuel filter. A fuel smell may be noticed due to fuel leaking into the engine bay and in the event of hose detachment the engine will cut out. Once the engine has cut out the brake vacuum reservoir will be depleted after 2-3 brake pedal depressions and the vehicle will lose brake power assistance however foundation brakes continue to operate. The engine cannot be re-started. Engine cut out with minimal warning could potentially cause a crash.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and add a spring wire retention clip to the low pressure fuel feed hose joint.
UK DVSARisk of fire
Risk: The positive cable fixing to the alternator may come loose and lead to an elevated risk of fire. Additionally there are concerns raised regarding the fixings for the engine mounted belt driven ancillaries. If the fixings fail power assistance to the steering can be lost and more input from the driver will be required to steer the vehicle.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and torque the front ancillary fixings to the correct specification.
UK DVSABraking efficiency may be affected
Risk: It has been identified that the right hand rear brake pipe can suffer a dynamic fouling condition on a redundant bracket on the rear subframe. If not corrected this can eventually result in the pipe wearing through. This condition will result in loss of brake fluid which will illuminate a warning light on the instrument panel. However there is the possibility of the reduction of braking effluence due to the loss of one brake circuit and possible instability of the vehicle.
Fix: Recall all affected vehicles to check the brake pipe and manipulate the redundant bracket on the rear subframe. If the brake pipe is found to be damaged then the brake pipe will be replaced.
UK DVSADirectional control may be compromised
Risk: A concern has been identified where in the event of prolonged aggressive driving it is possible that the rear toe link will separate from the rear sub-frame. In this event vehicle stability will be compromised and degree of directional control minimised which increases the risk of an accident.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the nut and washer assembly on the rear toe link with components of revised design.
UK DVSAFire may occur
Risk: It is possible that a leak can occur between the injector spill rail connection and the plastic fuel return pipe. This can cause leakage of fuel which can either pool on the engine cylinder head and then become deposited onto the road surface where it could cause a skid risk to other motorist or if the fuel comes into contact with extremely hot engine components an exhaust manifold for instance it is possible that an under bonnet fire could ensue.
Fix: Recall all affected vehicles inspect the fuel spill rail/return pipe and if required replace the spill rail with a new modified rail.

How often does the 2014 Jaguar XF fail its MOT?
Why they failed: the share of failed tests with at least one fault in each area (a test can fail on several). Cars first registered in 2014, tested in Great Britain in 2023; first registration is usually, but not always, the model year. Source: DVSA anonymised MOT tests and results, Open Government Licence v3.0.
What do 2014 Jaguar XF owners report?
11 of the 11 complaints, the most recent for the most-reported components, as the owners wrote them. NHTSA removes names and VINs; long reports are trimmed. CarHooq has not verified individual claims.
The contact owns a 2014 Jaguar XF. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle experienced a loss of power steering assist. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
I was driving at a high speed. 65 mph and went to accelerate to pass another vehicle and when I pushed the gas there was no power, the steering wheel locked up and I went off the side of the barley missing the ditch and then stopped. The i tried to restart it and the check engine light came of and after a couple attempts I had to have it towed to Jaguar of tacoma. My car is a 2024 with only 46000 miles on it. This shouldn’t be happening. I have to other vehicle to drive. I commute for work so I need a reliable car, which I did my research and thought this was one.
I took my car for the 35000 mile service and I am needing to replace the lower coolant outlet Y pipe, which has been recalled on Jaguars the same year and manufacturing plant as mine. The part nu,nets are the same ones on the recall. Also the brake axle.? Which I think there may have been a recall. I do t know if you have had any other complaints on this matter, but I feel Jaguar should acknowledge it may have more cars that are defective and fix them.
IN OCTOBER 2014, I PURCHASED A JAGUAR XF MODEL, THE CAR WAS USED AS AN EXECUTIVE DEMO FOR THREE MONTHS PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE. OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE SERVICED THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP ONLY, THE CAR HAS EXCELLENT SERVICE RECORDS, AND HAS NEVER BEEN SERVICED ANYWHERE ELSE. ON 01/02/2020, THE 96,000 MILES SERVICE APPOINTMENT WAS DONE ON THE VEHICLE. ON MONDAY, JANUARY 27,2020, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND I HEARD A KNOCKING SOUND, I PULL OVER TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY EXIT AND THE CAR LOSES ALL POWER. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME…

THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS INFLATOR HOUSING SINCE DECEMBER 2017. AS PER A LETTER RECEIVED FROM JAGUAR THE REMEDY WONT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL MARCH 2019. THAT IS AN AWFULLY LONG TIME- 1 YR AND 4 MONTHS, TO FIX AN ISSUE. EVEN AFTER THAT GOD KNOWS HOW MUCH TIME THEY ARE GOING TO BE TAKE TO ACTUALLY FIX THIS ONCE A REMEDY IS AVAILABLE. ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WHICH CAN RESULT IN DEATH. JAGUAR NEEDS TO BE PUSHED SO AS TO COMPLETE THIS ASAP SINCE THIS IS AN AWFULLY LONG TIME TO BE DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR.
TAKATA RECALL. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THE PARTS NECESSARY TO MAKE OUR CAR SAFE ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND MAY NOT BE UNTIL MARCH 30TH, 2019. THAT IS OVER A YEAR AWAY. SO FOR THE NEXT YEAR WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DRIVE OUR CAR AND HOPE THE PASSENGER ISN'T KILLED BY THE AIR BAG?
I WAS DRIVING ON THE 495 OUT OF THE LINCOLN TUNNEL AND MY LEFT FRONT TIRE WENT FLAT. I DID NOT HIT ANY POTHOLES. TWO DAYS LATER DRIVING ON RIVER ROAD IN EDGEWATER NJ I HIT A SMALL POTHOLE, IT WAS DARK AND TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS, MY TIRE IMMEDIATELY WENT FLAT. WE PULLED INTO A INDOOR GARAGE, CHANGED THE TIRE, WENT TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT AND THE BACK TIRE WENT FLAT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH THESE TIRES. THEY ARE CONTINENTAL - CONTI PRO CONTACT. *TR
