<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/jaguar/">Jaguar's</a> new 5.0-liter V8 has seen its fair share of praise since its introduction, but even the best petrol mill is worthless without fuel. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website indicates that 5,048 of the automaker's 2010 and 2011 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/xf">XF</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/xkr">XK </a>models equipped with the 5.0-liter engine are being recalled for a faulty fuel pump relay.<br />
<br />
The problem can reportedly occur if the in-tank electronic fuel pump isn't properly activated when the fuel pump relay is energized at vehicle start-up. When this happens, the engine could receive inadequate amounts of fuel, resulting in the vehicle abruptly stalling with little or no warning, which would potentially result in an unscheduled (is there another kind?) accident.<br />
<br />
Beginning August 30 of this year (or possibly earlier) owners of affected vehicles can simply take their faulty cat to the nearest Jaguar store for a free software update that should fix the issue. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/07/27/jaguar-recalling-2010-2011-xf-xk-models-over-potential-fuel-sta/#continued">Hit the jump</a> to read over the NHTSA press release.<br />
