All Jaguar XJ6L recalls (2)

Every NHTSA safety campaign that lists a Jaguar XJ6L, most recent first, with the model years each one covers.

  1. Automatic transmission (power train)

    NHTSA 78V174000 Reported 450 vehicles potentially affected JAGUAR CARS

    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.

    Remedy: Dealer will replace the dipstick at no charge.

    Model years: 1977

  2. Exhaust system (engine and engine cooling)

    NHTSA 77V083000 Reported 5,000 vehicles potentially affected JAGUAR CARS

    The exhaust gas recirculation manifold core plugs may become displaced resulting in a loss of engine vacuum and subsequent stalling. This would produce immediate erratic engine operation and subsequent loss of power brakes and power steering assist.

    Remedy: Dealer will install a modified core plug device at no cost to owner.

    Model years: 1975, 1976, 1977
