Recall 08V-396: 2009 Jaguar XF
JAGUAR CARS LTD recall for seat belts, reported to NHTSA on Aug 14, 2008, covering about 7,918 vehicles.
The problem
Jaguar is recalling 7,918 my 2009 xf vehicles. The rear safety belt d-ring assembly may not rotate properly around the safety belt anchorage mounting bolt. If the assembly is not held together when tightening, the d-ring and/or washer can separate from the shoulder of the spacer, allowing these parts to be partially clamped by the spacer, forming a burr on either the d-ring or the washer and subsequently limiting proper rotation of the d-ring.
The risk
In the event of a crash, a seat occupant may not be properly restrained increasing the risk of personal injury.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the outboard rear safety belt d-ring and, if necessary, the d-ring assembly will be removed and any burrs on the d-ring or washer filed flat. The d-ring assembly will then be reinstalled to correct the condition. The recall began on august 29, 2008. Owners may contact jaguar at 1-800-452-4827.
