The passenger front airbag may deploy even if a child is in the seat
of ConsumerAffairs
Jaguar Land Rover North America is recalling 7,060 model year 2014-2015 Jaguar F-TYPE vehicles previously remedied.
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.
In the event of a crash necessitating airbag deployment, an incorrect classification may result in the passenger front airbag deploying even if there is a child in the front passenger seat, increasing the risk of injury.
What to do
Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat belt assembly and repair the seat belt tension sensor harness as necessary, free of charge.
The recall is expected to begin June 21, 2019.
Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is H208.
