Air bags: sensor: occupant classification
- What is wrong
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Recall number 19V326000 · Recall details
Electrical system: wiring
- What is wrong
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Electrical system: alternator/generator/regulator
- What is wrong
- Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain 2015 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.
- Risk
- 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.
- Remedy
- 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.

What 2015 Jaguar F-Type owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Sudden loss of coolant while driving, without any prior warning lights. In my opinion that is unacceptable in a car with a little over 30k miles. F-Type forums all over the world would indicate this is a relatively common issue with some of the pipes under the supercharger being the suspected issue. Enough of an issue that I believe Jaguar redesigned those parts for newer model years, however there is no TSB for older cars at the moment. The current "solution" is owners updating the part themselves or having a shop/dealer replace the whole cooling system at owner's expense after there's a failure. Luckily this happened to me at low speed, but dropping all the coolant onto the road could be dangerous at highway speeds. I suppose there'd also be a risk of burns if it happened with the convertible top down and coolant came up the windshield into the car. Signed, An Automotive Engineer who's seen recalls for less
Most all internal buttons and switches including the steering wheel, dash and door switches are failing. Switches and buttons almost feel like they are melting. The sticky residue makes the steering wheel controls unreliable including turning on/off the vehicle, safety warning systems, windows, cruise control, lane assist, etc. Additionally, the goey buttons on the center console create the same concern for other critical functions of the vehicle. This is a known problem among owners and jaguar has not offered a reasonable remedy. One owner who had these same concerns was quoted $9,000 to replace the faulty switches.

Car shut down while in toll booth. Would not recognize key everything went black on dash. Could not get out of car due to toll barriers. Then about 30 sec later message came on dash that needed to move key fob closer - I do not remember exact wording. I took key out of my right front pocket and wave it over start button. Was able to then start car. While driving home passenger air bag warning sensor came on and remained on the remainder of the time until I got home (about 40 minute drive. There was an adult in the passenger seat.
Driving car on street at about 45 MPH. Suddenly car jerked and stalled. I immediately pulled over. Smoke came from engine compartment initially then engine caught fire. Entire front of car engulfed in flames and melted before fire department arrived.
