Known issues on the 2003 XJ8. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering the fuel system: certain replacement FRAM fuel filters used on the vehicle had a connector that wasn't manufactured to spec, so the O-ring could fail to seat correctly on the fuel line, which can allow a fuel leak that becomes a fire risk in the presence of an ignition source. No complaints and no technical service bulletins are logged for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that fuel system are here.
Whether you're inspecting the fuel filter connection or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and correct specification for your specific 2003 XJ8.
