Recalls
2 vehicle recalls from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.
Suspension Vehicle recall #16V789000 · 2016 · 23 vehicles
What's wrong: Due to assembly corrections during manufacturing, the bolts connecting the rear lower control arms to the knuckle assembly May fail prematurely.
Why it matters: If the lower control arm bolt connecting bolt fails, the rear control arm assembly May separate from the vehicle, resulting in a loss of control and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the bolt that connects the rear lower control arm to the rear knuckle joint, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on December 19, 2016.
Seat belts Vehicle recall #16V940000 · 2016 · 2,394 vehicles
What's wrong: The affected vehicles have front seat seatbelt pretensioners that May not function properly in the event of a crash.
Why it matters: If the front seat seatbelt pretensioners do not function properly, the seat occupants May not be adequately restrained in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the front seat belt assemblies, replacing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin February 20, 2017.
