The two I know of:

FDX 727: 10 kts

Gemini MD11: 15 kts.

No idea what the "factory" limits were, but pretty sure those companies just adopt the official number.

BTW, this was my logic for always hand-flying the landings. I don't want to develop my "feel" for the aircraft when the crosswind is higher than the above numbers!
