JAGUAR FUEL TANK LEAKS DISCOVERED, SALES STOPPED
Automotive News has reported that Jaguar Cars “ordered its dealers worldwide to stop selling some 2006 and 2007 XJ sedans following several massive gasoline leaks from vehicle fuel tanks.” Jaguar reportedly notified its U.S. and Canadian dealers of what it calls a ``quarantine'' prohibiting Jaguar dealers from selling any new or used XJs with vehicle identification numbers G49701 through H13209. The order followed the opening Aug. 16 of a NHTSA investigation after “several U.S. customers told the agency that their garage floors were ‘flooded with gasoline’ following recent fill-ups. Jaguar told Automotive News it was “unsure of how many affected XJs are in customer hands and what repair measures Jaguar may order,” and that “the action does not yet constitute a recall.”
