What this recall means for you
Some vehicles may not have received a required software update to the Restraint Control Module, which controls the airbag system. If the update was not successfully installed during servicing, the default airbag calibration settings may be incorrect.
In a crash, this incorrect calibration may prevent the airbags from deploying as intended, which increases the risk of injury to occupants. Owners should check their vehicle's VIN for open recalls and contact an authorized dealer if the recall applies.
The repair is free. Authorized dealers will update the Restraint Control Module with the latest software at no charge. Owners can also contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827, referencing recall H034.
