Recall possibly ignored
Hi. I understand that there was a recall of XK8s in 2004 for transmission probs (Recall TSM-TSB-304-14). I can not ascertain if - a) my proposed purchase of a 2003 was modified and
b) if this is likely to prove costly to rectify if it wasn't.
As ever, I throw myself on the mercy of the Men of Knowledge with gratitude for any advice.

I don't have that TSB in my library but 'motorcarman' will be along shortly to supply the document I'm sure.
If you are buying the car you might take the VIN to a dealer and ask nicely if the service was done. Jaguar maintains a world wide data base of such things done under warranty or recall but not repairs at a specific dealer. A TSB is not a recall but a bulletin.

The referenced TSB is available here

I'd speculate that if the car is not exhibiting the problem now (10 years later) either the TSB has been done or it wasn't a problem child in the first place.

If the PO didn't complain, it wouldn't be done.

I only uploaded NA spec car TSBs to the large file area.
