Plain-English summary

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain model year 2011-2014 XK convertible vehicles manufactured between October 1, 2010, and August 1, 2013. The recall involves 1,989 vehicles.

The switch in the overhead roof console activates the power-operated windows when the convertible roof is opening or closing. In these vehicles, the switch does not move downward to close the windows, causing the vehicles to fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 118, "Power-Operated Window, Partition, and Roof Panel Systems."

The power windows may inadvertently be activated and pinch or injure an arm or finger. Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the overhead roof console free of charge. The recall began on October 1, 2013. Owners may contact Jaguar at 1-800-452-4827 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
