Jaguar XF Recall 18V112: Air Bags May Not Deploy Properly in Low-Speed Crash

NHTSA campaign 18V112, reported February 15, 2018, 307 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

The airbag control system calibration in certain vehicles may be incorrect. In a low-speed crash, the frontal air bags may deploy improperly, so the driver and front passenger may not be properly protected.

Because the frontal airbags may not protect the driver and front seat passenger as designed, the risk of injury in a crash is higher. Owners should treat this as a safety issue and have the repair completed as soon as possible.

Jaguar will notify affected owners. Dealers will update the air bag system software free of charge, and the recall is expected to begin April 6, 2018. You can contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827 (Jaguar recall number H090), and you can check your VIN for open recalls to confirm whether your vehicle is affected.
