Issue:
*A concern has been identified on a number of 2004-05 MY XK Range vehicles within the above VIN range.* A failure can occur at the outer crimp
face of the oil cooler feed pipe/hose that leads from the engine to the intermediate connector. The same problem can occur on the oil cooler return
pipe/hose leading from the intermediate joint back to the engine. These conditions can result in the possibility of engine oil loss and reduced engine
performance.

engine to the intermediate connector and the oil cooler return pipe/hose from the intermediate connector back to the engine for a date code of 43 03.
