Known issues on the 1987 XJS. Six recalls are on federal record for this model year. The passive seat belt system can lock up in its motor winch assembly, jamming the belt track or kinking and breaking its cable so occupants cannot use the belts in a sudden stop or accident. Two separate recalls address excessive fuel vapor pressure that, after prolonged cycling, can weaken the fuel tank structure and lead to leaks or fuel odors near an ignition source. A third fuel tank recall covers the lower fuel gauge seals, which can fail and let gas leak into the tank cavity and possibly the passenger compartment, risking fire or explosion. The cruise control actuator's electronically controlled valves can malfunction when dirt enters them, so the system fails to disengage under normal driving and can cause loss of control. A rear compartment wiring harness installed incorrectly can short circuit and start an electrical fire. Owners have filed 1 complaint for the year and no technical service bulletins are logged.
Tracing a fuel tank vapor leak, inspecting the passive belt reel, or checking the cruise control actuator on a 1987 XJS calls for the correct specification for that specific system.
