Plain-English summary
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain model year 2012 Jaguar XF vehicles manufactured between September 7, 2011, and November 24, 2011. The recall addresses an incorrect certification label on these vehicles. Specifically, the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is stated incorrectly, causing the vehicles to fail to comply with federal certification requirements under Part 567.
The incorrect label creates a safety hazard because customers may unknowingly exceed the vehicle's actual GVWR. Exceeding this weight limit can lead to a loss of vehicle stability, which increases the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text, but the potential for loss of control is noted.
Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect label free of charge. The safety recall was expected to begin on or before January 23, 2012. Owners can contact Jaguar at 1-800-452-4827 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 for more information.
