Details

What's wrong: 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.

Why it matters: 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.

The fix: 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.
