Jaguar F Type and XE recall: Seat belt pretensioner may not deploy
- What's wrong
- It has been identified by the seat belt Pre-Tensioner manufacturer that the pre-tensioner initiator generant mix ratio does not meet specification. This can therefore result in the initiator not functioning correctly which can lead to none activation of the pre-tensioner.
- What to do
- Contact a Jaguar dealer to book the free repair. Recall all affected vehicles to check the pre-tentioner and if required replace it with a new quality assured component.
