Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain 2010-2015 Jaguar XF vehicles due to a defect in the front passenger air bag inflator module. The recall covers vehicles originally sold or registered in specific geographic zones (Zone A, Zone B, and Zone C) as defined by the manufacturer. The affected inflators may explode due to propellant degradation caused by long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling.
In the event of a crash that necessitates the deployment of the passenger frontal air bag, the inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. This hazard can result in serious injury or death.
Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag assembly free of charge. The recall began on June 27, 2018. Owners may contact Jaguar at 1-800-452-4827 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 for more information.
