## United States (NHTSA), as of 2026-10-19

- [90V123000](/recalls/nhtsa/90V123000.md), 1990-07-02: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY. EXCESSIVE FUEL VAPOR PRESSURE CAN OCCUR THAT, AFTER PROLONGED CYCLING, COULD WEAKEN THE FUEL TANK STRUCTURE. Built 1977\-10\-01 to 1990\-10\-01.
- [90V035000](/recalls/nhtsa/90V035000.md), 1990-02-20: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL. ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED VALVES IN THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTUATOR MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY DUE TO DIRT ENTERING THE VALVES. Built 1979\-02\-01 to 1990\-02\-01.
- [85V087000](/recalls/nhtsa/85V087000.md), 1985-07-03: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL. POSSIBLE FUEL LEAKAGE FROM THE ENGINE FUEL INJECTION      SYSTEM, PARTICULARLY IN THE AREA OF THE HOSE/CLIP FITTINGS.                                                                                                       CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, WITH FUEL LEAKAGE,    COULD RESULT IN AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE OR THE DESTRUCTION OF IGNITION        DISTRIBUTOR CAP. Built 1979\-12\-01 to 1985\-06\-01.
- [83V135000](/recalls/nhtsa/83V135000.md), 1983-12-20: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL. FUEL LEAKAGE MAY DEVELOP AT THE TWO MAIN FUEL RAIL CONNECTIONS. DETERIORATION AT THESE TWO CONNECTIONS HAS BEEN TRACED TO A COMBINATION OF MISALIGNMENT OF THE TWO RAIL HALVES AND THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE CHANGES. Built 1979\-08\-01 to 1983\-05\-01.
- [82V022000](/recalls/nhtsa/82V022000.md), 1982-03-09: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP. CERTAIN VEHICLES MAY BE FITTED WITH AN UNAUTHORIZED FUEL PUMP ELECTRICAL INERTIA SWITCH. THIS SWITCH HAS A TIN COATING ADDED TO THE CONTACTS THAT CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR A HIGH ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE. THIS COULD CAUSE OVERHEATING AND POSSIBLE DISTORTION OF THE PLASTIC MOUNTING AROUND THE FIXED CONTACT. THIS COULD RESULT IN INABILITY TO START THE VEHICLE SINCE THERE IS A FLOW OF CURRENT TO THE FUEL PUMP. Built 1981\-07\-01 to 1982\-01\-01.
- [81V134000](/recalls/nhtsa/81V134000.md), 1981-10-27: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL. CERTAIN VEHICLES COULD BE SUBJECT TO A FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF DETERIORATION IN THE INTEGRITY OF THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL HOSE CONNECTIONS. Built 1980\-04\-01 to 1981\-09\-01.

## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [1990034](/recalls/tc/1990034.md), 1990-02-21: Engine. XJ\-S 1982\-90 XJ12/VANDEN PLAS 1980\-90 DIRT INGRESS MAY CAUSE THE ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED VALVES IN THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTUATOR TO MALFUNCTION. IF THIS OCCURS, THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL FAIL TO DISENGAGE UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS RESULTING IN POSSIBLE LOSS OF DRIVER CONTROL. CORRECTION: CRUISE CONTROL ACTUATOR OPERATION WILL BE CHECKED AND AN ADDITIONAL VACUUM DUMP WILL BE INSTALLED.
- [1985080](/recalls/tc/1985080.md), 1985-07-03: Fuel System. V.I.N. XJ12 \- 310613 TO 431598        XJS  \- 104146 TO 125224 A POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR LEAKAGE FROM THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM WHICH COULD RESULT IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRES.
- [1983118](/recalls/tc/1983118.md), 1983-12-20. DUE TO MISALIGNMENT OF FUEL RAIL HALVES AND EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE CHANGE ON THE CONNECTIONS, THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF FUEL LEAKAGE AT THE FUEL RAIL JOINTS.  FUEL LEAKAGE COULD PRESENT THE POTENTIAL FOR FIRE. VIN \- XJ12 \- 310613 TO 365261       XJS \- 104146 TO 111980
- [1982030](/recalls/tc/1982030.md), 1982-03-22. THE SUPPLIER OF THE FUEL CUT\-OFF INERTIA SWITCH MADE UNAUTHORIZED CHANGES TO THE SWITCH CONTACTS.  UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS A HIGH ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE AND OPEN CIRCUIT MAY RESULT, PREVENTING CURRENT FLOW TO THE FUEL PUMP.
- [1981107](/recalls/tc/1981107.md), 1981-10-22. DETERIORATION OF HIGH PRESSURE FUEL HOSES IN THE ENGINE BAY CAN CAUSE FUEL LEAKAGE WHICH COULD RESULT IN POSSIBLE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE
