Plain-English summary

If the air bags do not deploy correctly, the driver and front seat passenger may not be properly protected during a crash, which increases their risk of injury. The source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities associated with this defect.

Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the air bag system free of charge. The recall was expected to begin on April 6, 2018. Owners can contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 for more information.
