Jaguar has issued a recall for 2,131 XF models from the 2010 model year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The recall is due to the fuel transfer pipe in the fuel tank, which may become kinked. This would prevent fuel from flowing from one side of the fuel tank to the fuel pump, causing “fuel starvation” at low fuel levels. This can cause the engine to stall without warning and possibly cause an accident.
Dealers will repair the fuel tank assembly for free. Owners may contact Jaguar at 800-452-4827 or NHTSA’s hotline at 888-327-4236.

The 2010 Jaguar XF comes with an array of more powerful V8 engines than the 2009, so Cars.com reviewer Kelsey Mays takes the opportunity in this video to gauge the driving experience of this luxury sedan that can climb as high as $80,000. Along the way, he explains the joys of effortless passing power and why if you buy the XF, you may want to know a good mechanic.

Three members of the Gangster Disciples gang were arrested in Chicago after they were spotted riding in stolen luxury cars, according to the Chicago police.
How did police catch them? The Lexus vehicles, which were stolen from the McGrath Lexus of Chicago dealership over the weekend, still had their highly recognizable “loaner” license plates on them.
All told, 11 cars, which were valued at $350,000, were stolen from the McGrath dealership; eight vehicles have been recovered by Chicago police. Police believe this heist is connected to the theft of six vehicles from Imperial Motors Jaguar in Lake Bluff, Ill., last Saturday. Six Jaguars and a Land Rover SUV — a total value of $446,000 — disappeared that day.
The thieves’ modus operandi was similar: In both cases they pried open the dealerships’ garage doors. At the McGrath dealership, the thieves stole a small safe filled with car keys. They returned later and brazenly drove off with the vehicles. Clearly, subtlety wasn’t their forte. In Lake Bluff, the thieves had an easier time of it — the dealership had left the keys in the vehicles.
Police are reviewing the surveillance video from each dealership.
Thieves Busted Riding in Stolen Luxury Cars (Chicago Sun-Times)
You’re going to expect a whole lot of car for $90,000. The 2010 Jaguar XK convertible tries its hardest, according to Cars.com reviewer Mike Hanley. From a sleek look that drags your eyes to the car to exceptional performance to a high-end interior, this convertible has a lot of ways to make you drool. Find out from Hanley if it warrants the sky-high price tag.
The reasoning behind J.D. Power and Associates’ Automotive Performance, Execution, and Layout study is to find out “how gratifying a new vehicle is to own and drive” for each customer.
The overall winner in the 2009 APEAL study was Porsche, which maintained its dominance in the top spot for the fifth straight year. Rounding out the top five were several other luxury brands: Jaguar, Cadillac, Audi and BMW.
Individual categories included one decent upset: In the Midsize Premium Car category, the Hyundai Genesis beat out both the BMW 5 Series and the Jaguar XF. Other winners of interest included the Dodge Challenger, Volkswagen CC, Ford Flex and Nissan Maxima — all relatively new models.
Luxury doesn’t come cheap these days. The all-new 2010 Jaguar XJ revealed yesterday gets a new starting price of $72,500, including the destination charge. That’s for the base model with a 385-hp V-8. The outgoing XJ had a 300-hp V-8 and started at $65,700 (without destination). Other rear-wheel-drive luxury sedans, like the BMW 750i and Lexus LS 460, start at $80,300 and $63,825, respectively.
Looking at all the numbers, it seems Jaguar has priced the new XJ and the long-wheelbase XJL properly. It can’t go as high as BMW, and the updates are well worth the $6,000 bump from the outgoing model. Full pricing on each trim level is below.
Jaguar has redesigned its flagship sedan, the XJ, for the 2010 model year, giving it exterior and interior design in the style of the XF sedan, along with the new engines introduced for the 2010 XF. The XJ can be ordered now, but delivery won't begin until early 2010. A slew of new images are below.
Jaguar has finally given tradition a rest, abandoning the classic four-headlight front-end design that dates back decades — and that had appeared unchanged to the untrained eye since 2004 despite a complete redesign. The 2010's nose is a more balanced execution of the XF's prominent mesh grille and sculpted headlight clusters. The hood is dramatically domed and creased, an apparent trend across the market.
Viewed from the rear, the XJ would be indistinguishable as a Jaguar were it not for the large and perfectly centered chrome "leaper" emblem. The taillights look like someone grabbed a Bentley by the tail and stretched it vertically. The car looks coupe-like in profile, with a gradually sloping roofline, high rear deck and high beltline. It's more Mercedes CLS than 2009 XJ, and we hope that doesn't represent compromised headroom. Jaguar emphasizes the "feeling" of light and space inside, compliments of a standard panoramic glass roof. The XJ's interior has always been snug among full-size luxury sedans. Jag will offer a long-wheelbase model that offers 5 more inches of backseat legroom.
