Known issues on the 2008 XK. One recall is on federal record for this model year. It covers the run-flat tire pressure monitoring system: the TPMS warnings were switched off at the factory, so if the electronic control unit sent a low-pressure signal, neither the instrument cluster telltale nor the message center text would display, leaving a deflating tire undetected. Owners have filed 5 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system are here.

Whether you're checking the TPMS wiring or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2008 XK.
