Limited data — recalls on file

3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers.
Defect
THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION MANIFOLD CORE PLUGS MAY BECOME DISPLACED RESULTING IN A LOSS OF ENGINE VACUUM AND SUBSEQUENT STALLING. THIS WOULD PRODUCE IMMEDIATE ERRATIC ENGINE OPERATION AND SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING ASSIST.
Remedy
DEALER WILL INSTALL A MODIFIED CORE PLUG DEVICE AT NO COST TO OWNER.
The record is thin — 0 NHTSA complaints — so owner-report data can't strongly confirm reliability either way, though 3 recalls should be verified as completed.
Yes — NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns affecting the 1976 Jaguar Xj6c. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers; check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm the work was done.
