WASHINGTON — Jaguar is recalling 5,048 2010 XF and 2010-'11 XK cars with the 5.0-liter V8 engine because of fuel starvation that could lead to engine cutout, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
"The in-tank electric fuel pump may not be correctly activated as the fuel pump relay is not energized following a vehicle startup cycle," said NHTSA in its recalls summary of the problem. "An inadequate supply of fuel to the engine could result. Fuel starvation to the engine leads to engine stumble followed by engine cutout with minimal warning and could potentially cause a crash."
The recall is expected to begin on August 30. Jaguar dealers will download revised software to correct the problem. Jaguar owners can contact the company at (800) 452-4827.
Inside Line says: If you own one of the aforementioned Jaguar vehicles, have it checked out with your dealer ASAP. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent

The 2010 model year would have started selling in Summer 2009.
