Seat Belt Recall - MY 2014-15
Apr 26,2019
Manufacturer Recall NumberH208
NHTSA Recall Number19V-326
Recall StatusRecall Incomplete, remedy not yet available
SummaryJaguar Land Rover have identified certain F-TYPE 2014 and 2015 Model Year vehicles, previously remedied in recall J047, that may have had a seat belt service part installed containing the same defect as the parts from the original recall. 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.
Safety RiskShould 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 the passenger 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.

Our VIN is affected, but as stated, the 'remedy is not yet available'.
Should we give our local dealer a 'heads up' in case the 'ownership trail' is not complete? (We are the 3rd owners)

Hmmm, I had that J047 performed. Realistically, I never had a child seat in the car, and rarely have 'small-statured' people. And I rarely crash. But it'll be going in for annual service next month.

Not sure why that made me laugh so much, but I'm not too worried about this recall either...
