Category: Light Vehicle · Supplier: Jaguar Land Rover Australia

Recall date: 22 May 2021

Defect

An incorrect wiring harness configuration to the restraints control module (RCM) links the wrong seat belt buckle. This can cause the driver's seatbelt pre-tensioner to not function, unless the front passenger seat is occupied.

Hazard

In the event of an accident, the driver's seat belt pre-tensioner may not operate when required. This could increase the risk of injury or, in the case of a serious accident, increase the risk of death to vehicle occupants.

Remedy

Owners will be notified and instructed to take their vehicle to an approved Land Rover dealer to have their seats realigned and repaired free of charge. For more information, owners can contact the Jaguar Land Rover Customer Relationship Centre on 1800 625 642 (Monday to Friday, 8am - 8pm and Saturday 9am - 4pm) or by email on crcau@jaguarlandrover.com To find your nearest Jaguar Land Rover dealer, visit https://www.landrover.com.au/national-dealer-locator.html
