Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems of the 2011 Jaguar XF

Currently the fuel tank is ruptured leaking fuel on the ground. The leak is not visible as to where it is originating from. The leak stops after the car sits for about a half hour. I have not taken the car in for inspection. I did find that there was a recall for this possible problem back in 2012 and was wondering if the manufacture is still liable for this problem even after it is fixed the first time? other than the strong odor from the fuel the only indicator I received was the service soon light came on the dash. Not sure if this would be covered under recal 12v521000.

I currently have a model year 2011 Xf vehicles and it is equipped with a 5. 0l gasoline engine. It is my understanding that this issue was affecting 2010-2012 Xf vehicles equipped with the 5. 0 l gasoline engine. The affected vehicles may have a fuel tank fuel outlet flange that may crack. I'm currently having the same issue that the recall is speaking of; however, my vehicle is not in the current recall. I wanted to bring this to Jaguar's attention for current owners like myself, for the affected vehicles may have a fuel tank fuel outlet flange that may crack. I think this is a very dangerous recall that should be for all of 2010-2012 Xf that have this issue. This is the information that is currently posted online for Jaguar's customers to see, but when I called about this recall, I was informed it didn't apply to me even though I am affected.

I had my 2011 Jaguar running while I wait for a locksmith and I could smell fuel coming from the vehicle mainly on the side where the gas tank is located. Once I sat inside the vehicle I could smell gas inside. I looked underneath the vehicle on the gas tank side and I noticed a fuel leak on the tank underneath. I had it checked and was told that it has to do with with the flange. I read that there is a recall but when I put in my VIN- it states no repairs or recalls. This should be covered.
