Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Jaguar is recalling certain 2014-2015 Jaguar F-TYPE vehicles because of a problem with the seatbelt harness connector that links to the occupant classification system. Due to incorrect wiring, the vehicle may not properly detect whether an adult or child is sitting in the front passenger seat. This creates a risk that the passenger front air bag could deploy even when a child is present, potentially causing injury.

Jaguar will notify owners of affected vehicles. Owners should contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827 and reference recall number H208 to have a dealer inspect and repair the seatbelt tension sensor harness free of charge. The recall notifications began on June 3, 2019.
