What is wrong
On certain passenger vehicles, when replace the fuel filler cap to the vehicle's fuel tank filler neck, it is possible to over-tighten the cap inducing a poor seal. In the event of a vehicle roll-over, it is possible for fuel to leak past the fuel filler cap.
The risk
Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will remove the fuel cap seals and fit better quality seals onto the vehicle. The recall began on october 1, 2004. Customers may also contact jaguar at 1-[removed].
