Fuel starvation to the engine can cause the engine to stall without warning and could potentially cause a crash.
The manufacturer has issued service bulletins covering fuel system on this vehicle — documented repair instructions, service campaigns, or warranty extensions sent to dealers. A TSB isn't a recall (it's not a free safety remedy), but it's the manufacturer acknowledging the issue and how to fix it.

Owners of the 2010 Jaguar XF describe a fuel system prone to sudden, complete stalls with no warning. Two separate owners had the engine shut off in traffic after fuel pump replacement and relay work—one at 5–30 mph on an incline, another while exiting a strip mall. Both lost all electrical control: dashboard went dark, gear shift locked in park, windows and restart wouldn't work. One owner poured in fuel at the roadside but the car still wouldn't turn over; the dealer ran machine diagnostics, found nothing, and told them not to drive on low fuel. Jaguar later got involved but the narrative cuts off.
A third owner's engine revved uncontrollably to 3,000–4,000 RPM when stopping, requiring emergency shutdown via neutral and ignition kill.
Separately, multiple owners report strong gasoline odor—some inside the cabin (worse with A/C on), some outside when parked. At least six owners found fuel actively leaking: one saw it pooling under a child safety seat, another smelled it in the garage. Independent mechanics and dealers diagnosed cracked or fractured fuel tank outlet flanges. Mileage ranged 60,000 to 160,000. One owner couldn't get recall work done because parts weren't distributed yet; another is seeking reimbursement for out-of-pocket flange replacement.

The fuel transfer pipe inside the fuel tank becomes kinked, restricting fuel flow from one chamber to the pump and causing complete engine stall without warning at low fuel levels.
When: At low fuel levels; incidents reported around 7,000 miles and 6,900 miles
Symptoms owners cite: Complete engine stall without warning; Loss of all vehicle control; Gear shift recedes into console and shifts to park automatically; Dashboard illumination loss; Vehicle will not restart even with fuel added
Repairs/costs cited: Jaguar replaced fuel pump and accessories after first incident; recall remedy involves fuel tank assembly repair
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: Recall ID #09V424000 (November 2, 2009): Fuel transfer pipe kinked, restricts fuel delivery, causes starvation. Remedy: dealers repair fuel tank assembly free of charge. Also Recall ID #10V332000 (July 22, 2010): in-tank fuel pump relay not energized after startup, inadequate fuel supply results.
The in-tank electric fuel pump relay fails to energize after vehicle startup, starving the engine of fuel despite fuel being present in the tank.
When: At startup or during driving; early mileage reported
Symptoms owners cite: Engine starvation despite adequate fuel gauge reading; Complete shutdown with no warning; Vehicle will not restart
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: Recall ID #10V332000 (July 22, 2010): fuel pump relay not energized after startup on 2010 XF V8 5.0L. Consequence: fuel starvation leading to engine stall.
The fuel tank outlet flange cracks or fractures, causing gasoline to leak from the fuel tank while parked or during driving. Multiple owners reported fuel leaking from underneath the vehicle and strong fuel odor both inside and outside the vehicle.
When: Reported at various mileages: 60,000; 88,000; 96,000; 104,000; 130,000; 160,000 miles
Symptoms owners cite: Strong gasoline odor inside vehicle, especially with A/C activated; Gasoline odor outside vehicle when parked; Visible gasoline leaking from under vehicle; Fuel smell in garage where vehicle is parked
Repairs/costs cited: Fuel flange and gasket replacement needed; independent mechanic replaced fuel flange at one vehicle; others diagnosed but not repaired due to recall parts unavailability
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: Recall ID #12V521000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); Recall ID #16V187000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); Recall ID #20V081000 (Fuel System, Gasoline): addresses fuel tank outlet flange issues. One owner seeking reimbursement for out-of-pocket repair; parts distribution delays noted on at least one vehicle.
Engine unexpectedly revs to 3,000–4,000 RPM when coming to a stop, requiring two feet on brake and shifting to neutral with ignition off to stop the engine.
When: March 5, 2010 and repeated occasions; 2010 model year
Symptoms owners cite: Sudden high RPM while decelerating to stop; Unresponsive to normal braking and gear shift controls; Difficulty achieving normal idle or restart

It's a documented issue but not catastrophic. 13 complaints have been filed. Repairs average $1,200 and most owners catch it before it causes a breakdown.
Across the 11 complaints that reported odometer mileage, most fuel system failures cluster between 6,900 and 104,000 miles, with the median around 60,000. A quarter of owners report trouble before 6,900; a quarter make it past 104,000. Maintenance history matters more than the odometer alone — this is the reported failure window, not a guarantee.
