NHTSA recall 08V396000
Seat Belts · Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The rear safety belt d-ring assembly may not rotate properly around the safety belt anchorage mounting bolt. If the assembly is not held together when tightening, the d-ring and/or washer can separate from the shoulder of the spacer, allowing these parts to be partially clamped by the spacer, forming a burr on either the d-ring or the washer and subsequently limiting proper rotation of the d-ring.
Why it matters: In the event of a crash, a seat occupant may not be properly restrained increasing the risk of personal injury.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the outboard rear safety belt d-ring and, if necessary, the d-ring assembly will be removed and any burrs on the d-ring or washer filed flat. The d-ring assembly will then be reinstalled to correct the condition. The recall began on August 29, 2008.
