What is wrong

Jaguar is recalling 7,918 my 2009 xf vehicles. The rear safety belt d-ring assembly may not rotate properly around the safety belt anchorage mounting bolt. If the assembly is not held together when tightening, the d-ring and/or washer can separate from the shoulder of the spacer, allowing these parts to be partially clamped by the spacer, forming a burr on either the d-ring or the washer and subsequently limiting proper rotation of the d-ring.

The risk

In the event of a crash, a seat occupant may not be properly restrained increasing the risk of personal injury.

The fix

Dealers will inspect the outboard rear safety belt d-ring and, if necessary, the d-ring assembly will be removed and any burrs on the d-ring or washer filed flat. The d-ring assembly will then be reinstalled to correct the condition. The recall began on august 29, 2008. Owners may contact jaguar at 1-[removed].

Notes from the manufacturer
