Hi,<br /><br />Just seen this in the US press. Wonder if it will affect us here in the UK too?<br /><br />Report Receipt Date: NOV 07, 2014<br />NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V714000<br />Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM<br />Potential Number of Units Affected: 7,079<br />Manufacturer: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC<br /><br />SUMMARY:<br />Jaguar Land Rover North America LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 F-TYPE vehicles manufactured August 31, 2012, to October 22, 2014. In the affected vehicles the seatbelt harness connector which connects the Seatbelt Tension Sensor (STS) to the Occupant Classification Sensor Control Module (OCSCM) may not have been correctly wired. The OCSCM senses whether there is an occupant in the front passenger seating position, and the STS senses whether tension on the seatbelt indicates a child restraint is being used in the front passenger seating position. Both sensors provide information to the restraint control module (RCM) which informs whether the front passenger airbag should be activated, depending on whether the sensors detect the seat is occupied and/or that it is occupied by an adult passenger.<br /><br />CONSEQUENCE:<br />Should the STS not have been wired correctly, the front passenger air bag may not be suppressed, and may remain activated, even when a child restraint is placed in the front passenger seat or a small statured adult occupies that seat. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the front passenger air bag, a child or small stature occupant may be at an increased risk of injury.<br /><br />REMEDY:<br />Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will correct the harness connector wire configuration, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin January 5, 2015. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-201-760-8534. Jaguar's number for this recall is J047.<br /><br />NOTES:<br />Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.<br /><br /><br />###<br /><br /><br />Report Receipt Date: OCT 27, 2014<br />NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V673000<br />Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM , ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING<br />Potential Number of Units Affected: 272<br />Manufacturer: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC<br /><br />SUMMARY:<br />Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain F-TYPE vehicles manufactured August 25, 2014, to September 12, 2014, 2015 XF vehicles manufactured September 3, 2014, to September 12, 2014, and 2015 XJ vehicles manufactured August 21, 2014, to September 11, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the Front End Accessory Drive (FEAD) belt, Power Assisted Steering (PAS) pump pulley and/or battery positive cable at the alternator may detach.<br /><br />CONSEQUENCE:<br />If the battery positive cable loosens, an electrical short may result, increasing the risk of a fire. If the FEAD belt looses or detaches, the vehicle may lose power assisted steering, increasing the risk of a crash.<br /><br />REMEDY:<br />Jaguar has notified owners, and dealers will inspect the affected engine mounted components for the proper threading and torque, correcting them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began November 10, 2014. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is J044.<br /><br />NOTES:<br />Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.<br /><br /><br /><br />As you will have read, the recall in the USA for the seat belt/airbag issue isn't scheduled to start until 5th January 2015 so it will be interesting to see if UK owners are also asked to take their cars in for checking. Many will be safely covered up for winter as mine is so let's hope there is some flexibility. <br /><br />Merry Xmas <img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> <edited><editID>scoobydoo</editID><editDate>2014-12-11 19:36:20</editDate></edited>
