Plain-English summary

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Jaguar XJ vehicles manufactured between September 12, 2016, and October 26, 2016. The recall involves 16 vehicles in total.

The affected vehicles have a front passenger air bag inflator initiator that may fail to ignite during a crash. This failure prevents the air bag from deploying as required, which increases the risk of injury in the event of a crash of sufficient severity.

Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag free of charge. The recall was expected to begin on February 20, 2017. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
