2010 Jaguar XKR

The federal record for this generation is sparse but tells a story of escalating issues over time: complaints rose from zero in 2000 to two in 2001 and then jumped sharply to 30 by 2005, while TSBs surged from 13 to 92 over the same arc, suggesting the platform accumulated significant service complexity as it aged. Recalls, conversely, tapered from one each in 2000 and 2001 to zero in 2005, indicating regulators did not escalate the growing complaint volume into formal safety actions. The 2010 target year itself is not enumerated in the year-by-year record, but its complaint profile — one each across Fuel System Gasoline, Engine & Engine Cooling, Engine, and Electrical System, plus one fire complaint and zero crash complaints — is thin, which is consistent with low-volume reporting for a late-generation model rather than evidence of resolved problems. The presence of a fire complaint tied to fuel or engine systems is notable given the 2005 spike in complaints, though the data does not specify a root cause or link between them. Given the generation's clear upward trend in complaints and TSBs through 2005 and the 2010's own fire complaint spanning multiple powertrain categories, this is a year to approach with caution — the low complaint count likely reflects the car's rarity and age rather than inherent reliability, and the fire report warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection of the fuel and engine systems before buying.
