Summary

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC "Jaguar" is recalling certain model year 2015 Jaguar XJ vehicles manufactured July 2, 2014, to December 4, 2014. The affected vehicles may have an incorrect description of the operation of Occupant Sensor System "OSS" in the owner's manual. Since the manual does not correspond with the actual Air Bag Status Indicator Lamp, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard "FMVSS" No. 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."

Consequence

If the occupant does not correctly understand how air bag functions, they may be at an increased risk of personal injury in the event of a crash.
