NHTSA recall 93V179000
Seat Belts · Jaguar Cars, Ltd.
Details
What's wrong: The normal lockup function of the automatic (passive) belt reel can cause the belt motor winch assembly to lockup such that the passive belt system will not deploy/function or gets stuck at various points along the track causing the kinking or breaking of its cable or detachment of the tongue.
Why it matters: If this occurs the occupants of the vehicle cannot usethe safety belts, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a sudden stopor accident.
The fix: Jaguar will repair the passive belt system if this problem occurs or has occurred. Jaguar will notify owners of the existence of a lifetime warranty on components of the automatic (passive) belt system.
