Jaguar F-Type

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the passenger seat belt assemblies may contain defective automatic locking retractors (ALR). As a result, the seat belts may not properly lock to secure a child seat. 
Note: The vehicle's lower universal anchorage system (UAS) is not affected by this defect and may still be used to secure a child seat. 

Safety Risk: 
A seat belt that is used to secure a child restraint but is not properly locked could increase the risk of injury in a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
Jaguar will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the seat belts. They will be replaced, if necessary.

Issue: 
Under certain conditions, the antilock brake system (ABS) and the dynamic stability control (DSC) may be disabled when you start the vehicle. If this happens, the ABS and DSC warning lights will turn on in the instrument cluster, along with message center text to alert the driver. 

Safety Risk: 
If the stability control system and antilock brake system are disabled, there could be an increased risk of a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
Jaguar will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the vehicle with the latest software.

Issue: 
On certain cars fitted with 18-inch rear tires, the tire placard label shows the wrong rear tire size. Canadian regulations require the correct tire size to be listed on the tire placard. If the car is fitted with the incorrect rear tires, it may not handle as designed. 

Safety Risk: 
A change in vehicle handling characteristics could increase the risk of a crash. 

Corrective Action: 
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their car to a dealer to install a corrected tire placard label.

Issue: 
On certain cars, the occupant classification system (OCS) may not work properly. This could cause the airbag system not to turn off the airbag when an infant or child is seated in the passenger seat. 
Note: Cars that had repairs completed under Jaguar recall J047 (Transport Canada recall 2014-515) require a second inspection for this recall. 

Safety Risk:
In a crash, an airbag that deploys in front of an infant or child increases the risk of injury. 

Corrective Actions: 
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their car to a dealer to inspect the passenger seat belt assembly. The seat belt wiring will be repaired as required. 
Note: Children should not be transported in passenger seat until this recall is completed.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the engine crankshaft pulley bolt may have been manufactured improperly. This could cause it to crack and fail. If this happens, the crankshaft could break and cause a sudden engine failure. A driver may hear loud noises and see warning lights on the dash immediately before the engine fails. 
 
Safety Risk: 
An engine failure could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a loose pulley could separate from the engine and cause damage. If it separates from the vehicle, it could become a hazard for bystanders or other drivers. 
 
Corrective Actions: 
The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to an authorized repair facility to have the crankshaft pulley bolt replaced with a new one.
