What this recall means for you
Some vehicles have front seat belt pretensioners that may not work properly. A pretensioner is the device that quickly tightens the belt in a crash to hold the occupant in place. If it fails, front seat occupants may not be adequately restrained, which increases the risk of injury in a collision.
Dealers will inspect the front seat belt assemblies and replace them as needed. The inspection and any replacement are free of charge. Owners will be notified, and the recall is expected to begin February 20, 2017. You can also contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827, and Jaguar's recall number is J081.
