- Problem
- Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar Land Rover) is recalling certain 2014-2015 Jaguar F-TYPE vehicles previously remedied under Recall 14V-714. The seatbelt harness connector which connects the Seatbelt Tension Sensor (STS) to the Occupant Classification Sensor Control Module (OCSCM) may not have been correctly wired. As a result, the Restraint Control Module (RCM) may not accurately detect if an adult or child is occupying the seat.
- Risk
- In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an incorrect classification may result in the passenger frontal air bag deploying even if there is a child in the front passenger seat, increasing their risk of injury.
- Remedy
- Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat belt assembly and repair the seatbelt tension sensor harness as necessary, free of charge. The recall began June 3, 2019. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is H208.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
A wiring connector linking the seatbelt tension sensor to the occupant classification module may not have been wired correctly. As a result, the system may not accurately tell whether an adult or a child is in the front passenger seat.
In a crash severe enough to deploy the airbags, the front passenger airbag could deploy even when a child is seated there, increasing the risk of injury to that child. This recall covers certain 2014-2015 Jaguar F-Type vehicles that were previously repaired under an earlier recall.
Owners will be notified by Jaguar. Authorized dealers will inspect the seatbelt assembly and repair the seatbelt tension sensor harness as needed, at no cost to you. You can contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827 and reference recall H208. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
