Common 2017 Jaguar Xf problems
The Jaguar XF 2017 has been reported to have several common problems, primarily related to fuel leaks, airbag deployment, and electrical systems.
Fuel leaks are a significant issue in the Jaguar XF 2017, with two distinct problems reported. First, some XFs manufactured from 1 November 2016 and 6 April 2017 had an issue with fuel lines chafing and potentially causing a fuel leak. This issue affects vehicles with both petrol and diesel engines. Affected cars will need to be inspected, have additional retaining clips installed, and have any damaged fuel lines replaced. Second, cars constructed between 20 April 2015 and 23 May 2016 might have a misrouted fuel pipe that can chafe and potentially lead to a diesel fuel leak. Any damaged lines will need to be replaced by a Jaguar dealer.
Airbag deployment is another concern in the Jaguar XF 2017. Affected vehicles produced between 1 February 2017 and 8 January 2018 are to have updated software installed by a Jaguar dealer to make sure that the airbags deploy as intended in a collision. This issue affects vehicles with both petrol and diesel engines. Owners should ensure that their vehicles have received the necessary software updates to ensure the proper deployment of airbags in the event of a collision.
Electrical systems, particularly those related to the sat-nav and infotainment systems, have also been reported as problematic in the Jaguar XF 2017. Some early cars have experienced quality glitches, and electrical glitches are not unheard of. It is essential to check all electrical systems, including the touchscreen, which is a complex bit of equipment, during inspections. If the car is no longer covered under warranty, any potential cost of diagnosing the fault should be factored into the seller's asking price.
In addition to these issues, some XFs built between 8 December 2016 and 14 December 2016 could have a cracked left side inner sill, which may require the manufacturer to repurchase the car and supply a replacement. Certain XF models produced between 1 September 2016 and 5 July 2018 might have a problem emitting the correct levels of CO2, which can be rectified with a software update to the engine. Instrument clusters on vehicles made between 1 September 2016 and 17 August 2017 can go blank intermittently due to a software issue, and affected vehicles will need a software update to sort this issue. The front passenger seat of some XFs made between 14 February 2017 and 11 April 2017 didn't have an occupancy mat fitted to warn the driver of an unbuckled passenger, and affected vehicles should have this mat fitted by a Jaguar dealer.
In the latest What Car? Reliability Survey, the XF saloon finished 20th out of 24 cars in the executive car class, with a score of 85.9%. Bodywork, brakes, and sat-nav issues were the most common problems with the 28% of XFs that went wrong. Although 68% of faults were fixed for free, some owners faced bills ranging from £751 to £1500. Almost all cars could still be driven and three-quarters were rectified in less than a week, half of those within a day.
