Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING; SEAT BELTS

Apr 25, 2019
7,060 units potentially affected
The defect: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar Land Rover) is recalling certain 2014-2015 Jaguar F-TYPE vehicles previously remedied under Recall 14V-714. 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. As a result, the Restraint Control Module (RCM) may not accurately detect if an adult or child is occupying the seat.
The risk: In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an incorrect classification may result in the passenger frontal air bag deploying even if there is a child in the front passenger seat, increasing their risk of injury.
The remedy: Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat belt assembly and repair the seatbelt tension sensor harness as necessary, free of charge. The recall began June 3, 2019. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is H208.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING

Nov 7, 2014
7,079 units potentially affected
The defect: 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.
The risk: 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.
The remedy: Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will correct the harness connector wire configuration, free of charge. The recall began on December 3, 2014. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is J047.

FOUND RECALL CONCERNING PASSENGER AIR BAG ON NHTSA WEBSITE. DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT YET, AND IT WILL TAKE MONTHS FOR THEM TO COME UP WITH A FIX. SO THE CAR JUST SITS IN MY GARAGE WHILE I KEEP MAKING LOAN PAYMENTS, IT'S UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND DEALER WON'T DO ANYTHING. LAST YEAR ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH AIRBAG, IN THAT CASE - THE DRIVER'S ONE. DELAER FIXED IT, JUST OVER A YEAR SINCE THEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH CAME ON AGAIN, DEALER REFUSES TO FIX, SAYS THEY ONLY GUARANTEE REPAIRS FOR 12 MONTHS AND WANTS TO CHARGE FOR SAME PARTS AND LABOR AGAIN. SO PRETTY MUCH BOTH AIRBAGS IN THE CAR ARE BAD AND DEALER REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. TPMS SENSOR MALFUNCTION WARNING COMES ON AND OFF ALL THE TIME - THIS ISSUE WAS ALSO SUPPOSEDLY FIXED BY DEALER, THEY SAY THEY CAN'T TRACK THE PROBLEM AND CAN DO NOTHING MORE TO HELP. I WANT A RELIABLE AND SAFE CAR TO DRIVE, CLEARLY THIS CAN'T BE SAID ABOUT JAGUARS, MOREOVER - DEALER IS VERY INCOMPETENT, THEY DON'T KNOW THEIR OWN CARS AND INCAPABLE OF FIXING THESE CARS' CONSTANTLY REOCCURRING PROBLEMS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!

A customer may report that the windshield wipers stop up on the windshield when turned off.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
