What happened

Jaguar is recalling certain 2014-2015 F-TYPE vehicles because a wiring error in the seatbelt harness connector may prevent the front passenger airbag from being properly suppressed when a child restraint or small adult occupies that seat. If the front passenger airbag deploys in a crash, a child or small-statured person in that seat could face an increased risk of injury.

Jaguar will notify owners, and authorized dealers will correct the wiring configuration at no cost. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827 to arrange service. The recall number is J047.

Hazard

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.

What should I do?

Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will correct the harness connector wire configuration, free of charge. The recall began on December 3, 2014. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is J047.

Details from the source

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.
