Known issues on the 2013 XK. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. The front side (parking) lamps can shut off after about five minutes, cutting the car's visibility to other drivers. A tire placard error lists the spare tire's inflation pressure as "none," which can leave the spare underinflated and prone to failure. The rear toe links, which control rear wheel alignment, can separate from the rear sub-frame and cause a loss of vehicle stability. And on convertible models, the overhead roof console switch can activate the power windows on its own while the top is opening or closing, with no way to stop them by moving the switch down, risking a pinched arm or finger. Owners have filed 2 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you're tracing an intermittent parking-lamp fault or inspecting the rear toe links, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and correct specification for your specific 2013 XK.
