The 2012 Jaguar XK was sold in two body styles on a single engine, and the clearances, torque figures and procedure sequences here are the ones Jaguar issued for this model year rather than values carried over from an adjacent XK year.
Engines
- 5.0L V8 Gas
Trims
- Base Convertible 2-Door
- Base Coupe 2-Door
Known issues on the 2012 XK. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers exterior lighting: on cars manufactured March 4, 2011 to March 20, 2014, the front side lamps (parking lamps) may turn off after approximately 5 minutes, and if the parking lamps turn off the vehicle will have reduced conspicuity, increasing the risk of a crash. The second covers the electrical system on the convertible: the switch in the overhead roof console also activates the power operated windows when the convertible roof is opening or closing and does not move downward to close them, so the power windows may inadvertently be activated and pinch or injure an arm or finger. Two owner complaints are also on record for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind both of those systems are here.
Whether you are tracing the front side lamp circuit, checking roof-console switch behavior on a Convertible, or setting the 5.0L V8 back to spec after a service, every step stays on Jaguar's own figures for this 2012 XK.
