What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a safety-critical component (air bag) where improper deployment increases the risk of injury, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain model year 2009, 2011, 2012, and 2015 Jaguar XF vehicles manufactured between February 6, 2008, and October 20, 2014. The recall addresses a defect in the driver frontal air bag inflator module, which may be missing a chemical enhancer required for the second stage of deployment. This can result in the air bag deploying improperly in certain crashes.

An air bag that inflates improperly increases the risk of injury to the driver. Jaguar will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the driver frontal air bag module free of charge. The recall began on May 5, 2016.
