Jaguar recalls 2014-2015 F-TYPE (Potential Airbag Issue)
I was driving to work listening to the news channel and heard that Jaguar had issued a recall on certain of the F Type's. When I got to work I looked online and the official notice from Jaguar is below. You may want to check you car or call the dealer to see if you are affected. FYI...........
Below is the official notice from Jaguar:
Report Receipt Date: NOV 07, 2014
NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V714000
Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Number of Units Affected: 7,079
Manufacturer: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC
SUMMARY:
Jaguar Land Rover North America LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 F-TYPE vehicles manufactured August 31, 2012, to October 22, 2014. In the affected vehicles 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. The OCSCM senses whether there is an occupant in the front passenger seating position, and the STS senses whether tension on the seatbelt indicates a child restraint is being used in the front passenger seating position. Both sensors provide information to the restraint control module (RCM) which informs whether the front passenger airbag should be activated, depending on whether the sensors detect the seat is occupied and/or that it is occupied by an adult passenger.
CONSEQUENCE:
Should the STS not have been wired correctly, the front passenger air bag may not be suppressed, and may remain activated, even when a child restraint is placed in the front passenger seat or a small statured adult occupies that seat. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the front passenger air bag, a child or small stature occupant may be at an increased risk of injury.
REMEDY:
Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will correct the harness connector wire configuration, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin January 5, 2015. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-201-760-8534. Jaguar's number for this recall is J047.
