JLR Australia is recalling over 600 Jaguar E-Pace SUVs because of an issue with the passenger airbag.
“Due to a manufacturing defect, the passenger airbag may tear during deployment,” the company says in its recall notice.
“This could cause hot gases to escape from the airbag at high speed and result in insufficient protection to the passenger.
“In the event of an accident, the airbag not deploying as intended could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants.”
- A total of 636 vehicles are affected from 2020 to 2022
- The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) list is attached here
- The original recall notice is attached here
If you own an affected vehicle, JLR Australia will contact you by mail and ask you to schedule an appointment with a dealership.
The passenger airbag and associated components will be replaced free of charge.
If you have any further questions, you can contact JLR Australia Customer Care on 1300 787 803.
