What is wrong

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Jaguar XJ vehicles manufactured September 12, 2016, to October 26, 2016. The affected vehicles have a front passenger air bag inflator initiator that may fail to ignite during a crash, preventing the air bag from deploying.

The risk

In the event of a crash of sufficient severity, the front passenger air bag may not deploy as required, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix

Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin February 20, 2017. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-[removed]. Jaguar's number for this recall is J080.

Notes from the manufacturer
