2011 Jaguar XJ Engine Problems

The contact owns a 2011 Jaguar XJ. The contact stated while driving 75 MPH, the vehicle began to decelerate independently, prompting the contact to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway to have the vehicle towed. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the engine. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 88,000.

I have a 2011 Jaguar XJL Supercharged with 65,000 miles that has a knocking noise and is in restricted performance mode. The timing chain and tensioner were replaced by a shop, but that did not fix the issue and I’ve been told there is internal engine damage. The internal engine damage has not been identified. The car itself is in excellent shape, but I don’t know how to proceed to address the internal engine damage as the shop is recommending replacing the engine with a used engine from the salvage yard, but that concerns me as I don’t know the history of the engine from the salvage yard. I've done some research and apparently this is a common issue. Does anyone have any insight on how to proceed with an Arizona recall as this is not normal? Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING JUST BEFORE I WAS ABOUT TO MAKE A LEFT-HAND TURN. *JS

2011 XJ IS EXHIBITING PROBLEMS SIMILAR TO THOSE CONTAINED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V332000 FOR THE XK AND XF. SPECIFICALLY, VEHICLE ENGINE WILL STUTTER AS IF ABOUT TO STALL, WHICH IS MOST NOTICEABLE WITHIN THE FIRST 30 MINUTES AFTER START UP, BUT PERSISTS IN VARYING DEGREES AT ALL TIMES, ESPECIALLY WHEN IDLING. PROBLEM IS PROGRESSIVELY WORSENING. PROBLEM REPORTED TO DEALER WHO HAD INDICATED A SOFTWARE UPDATE IN THE FUTURE SHOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE, BUT NO INDICATION GIVEN ON WHEN THAT WILL HAPPEN. PROBLEM SOUNDS SIMILAR TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V332000, WHICH NOTES A CRASH COULD OCCUR. ACCORDINGLY, THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED TO CONFIRM IF THE 2011 XJ SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. *TR
