One problem related to timing tensioner has been reported for the 1998 Jaguar XK8. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Why hasn't Jaguar been ordered to recall the 1997 through 2002 1/2 models for the timing belt tensioner plastic guide issue? it has been reported here in the past, and is widely known across the internet. I would just like to know why NHTSA hasn't considered this design defect to be eligible for a recall when it is clearly a major safety issue.
