2009 Jaguar Recall Due To Faulty Seat Belts
August 29th, 2008
Those of you who own a 2009 Jaguar XF or were hoping to own one will be disappointed to know that it is currently being recalled. So far Jaguar has pulled back 7,900 of the 2009 model due to faulty seat belts.

The rear seat safety belt d-ring was not assembled properly and may not rotate properly around the anchorage mounting bolt of the seat belt.

Jaguar Commemorates 60 Years Of The XK With The New XK60
July 21st, 2008
The original XK60 was first introduced during the 1948 London Motor Show and it immediately became a hit thanks to its sleek design. Beneath the hood it housed a 3.4 liter straight six that could push out 160 horsepower. During this time period that was real power and people were impressed by it.
It’s 120 mph top speed made it the world’s fastest production car at the time and over the years, other XK’s followed the original’s footsteps - the XK140 in 1955 and the XK150 in 1958 - both named for their top speed capabilities. Then there’s the XKSS, the road-going version of the D-Type race car of which only sixteen were produced.
