I am a new XK owner and have just imported a MY2010 5.0 XK to Norway from the US.
Great looking car, can't wait for spring! My everyday car is a XF MY2013 - so I am already a JAG fan.

A Question:The XK has a sticker with authorized modifications. Does anyone know what they mean/has been done? Thx

 

J017 is a Safety Recall reference. Here is the JLR Press Release:

Vehicle Make / Model: Model Year(s):
JAGUAR / XF 2010
JAGUAR / XK 2010-2011
Manufacturer: JAGUAR LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA, LLC Mfr's Report Date: JUL 21, 2010

Component: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
Potential Number of Units Affected: 5048

Summary:
JAGUAR IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010-2011 JAGUAR XK AND MODEL YEAR 2010 XF V8 5.OL GASOLINE ENGINE VEHICLES. THE IN-TANK ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP MAY NOT BE CORRECTLY ACTIVATED AS THE FUEL PUMP RELAY IS NOT ENERGIZED FOLLOWING A VEHICLE START UP CYCLE. AN INADEQUATE SUPPLY OF FUEL TO THE ENGINE COULD RESULT.

Consequence:
FUEL STARVATION TO THE ENGINE LEADS TO ENGINE STUMBLE FOLLOWED BY ENGINE CUT OUT WITH MINIMAL WARNING AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A CRASH.

Remedy:
DEALERS WILL DOWNLOAD REVISED SOFTWARE FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE AUGUST 30, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT JAGUAR AT 1-800-452-4827.

Notes:
JAGUAR SAFETY RECALL NO. J017.
OWNERS MAY ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236, OR GO TO HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV .

I expect the other numbers could be the Dealer identifier and the date of completion.
