Jaguar Land Rover North America has announced two separate end of the year recalls for F-Type (seat belt harness connection wiring problem) and XJ vehicles (faulty brake lines).
Which Jaguar models are affected by the recalls?
F-Type Recall: Model year 2014-2015 Jaguar F-Type vehicles manufactured between August 31, 2012 to October 22, 2014.
XJ Sedan Recall: Model year 2014-2015 Jaguar XJ vehicles manufactured between February 6, 2014 and July 23, 2014.
What causes the seat belt harness connection problem and faulty brake line problem?
For the Jaguar F-Type recall, improper wiring to the Seatbelt Tension Sensor and the Occupant Classification Sensor Control Model may cause front passenger airbag to deploy, even when turned off.
For the Jaguar XJ recall, faulty brake line junctions may leak break fluid. This may increase the likelihood of a crash.
Are there any known accidents attributed to the defect?
At this time, no known accidents have been reported by Jaguar Land Rover attributing to either of the defects.
What do I do if my car is one of those affected?
Jaguar Land Rover will be notifying all owners affected by the recalls soon. Affected Jaguar F-Type vehicles will have the wiring inspected, and corrected if need be. Affected Jaguar XJ vehicles will have their brake line junctions inspected and tightened. Both, free of charge.
