What this recall means for you
Certain Jaguar XF vehicles from model years 2009, 2010 and 2013 have a passenger-side frontal airbag inflator that can deteriorate over time from long-term exposure to humidity and temperature changes. In a crash that requires the passenger airbag to deploy, the inflator may explode.
An inflator explosion can send sharp metal fragments toward the driver or other occupants, which may result in serious injury or death. Which vehicles are affected depends on where they were originally sold or registered, so owners should confirm their status using the VIN.
Jaguar will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the front passenger airbag assemblies free of charge. Owners can contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827 (recall number J071), and should check their VIN for open recalls.
