Plain-English summary
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain model year 2015 Jaguar XJ vehicles manufactured between July 2, 2014, and December 4, 2014. The recall involves 1,346 vehicles that may have an incorrect description of the Occupant Sensor System (OSS) operation in the owner's manual. Because the manual does not correspond with the actual Air Bag Status Indicator Lamp, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
The defect poses a risk because if an occupant does not correctly understand how the air bag functions, they may be at an increased risk of personal injury in the event of a crash. No specific injuries or deaths have been reported in the source text.
Jaguar will notify owners and supply a supplement to add to the owner's handbook free of charge. The recall began on March 2, 2015. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is J050. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
