Details

What's wrong: The affected vehicles may have an incorrect description of the operation of occupant sensor system (oss) in the owner's manual. Since the manual does not correspond with the actual air bag status indicator lamp, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) no. 208, "occupant crash protection."

Why it matters: If the occupant does not correctly understand how air bag functions, they may be at an increased risk of personal injury in the event of a crash.

The fix: Jaguar will notify owners, and supply a supplement to add to the owner's handbook, free of charge. The recall began March 2, 2015.
