It may also be the F-type, but I put in the VIN # of my XE and it confirmed that my car is subject to the recall.

You might want to plug in your VIN # and see what happens.

See https://www.cars.com/articles/recall...1420693227736/ and then go to https://www.nhtsa.gov and plug in your VIN.

yes I figured out the link was adding characters at end of link, I took them out and it worked. I also got the same text but it still shows F-Type, kind of weird. I guess we may get something in the mail about it.

Driver's seatbelt pre-tensioner may not deploy as intended

I found the following XE recall information on the UK DVSA website. Naturally it's RHD vehicles for the UK but very likely the same issue applies to LHD vehicles:



The affected VIN range is SAJAA4AN9HA920686 to SAJAB4AG1HA944169. Remedial action is to rewire the connector to the Restraints Control Module on affected vehicles.
