Jaguar XF: Fault in the airbag gas generator

29/03/2023

Worldwide, 48,314 Jaguar XFs produced between 2007 and 2015 must be returned to the workshop. The reason is a fault in the gas generator of the passenger airbag, which can cause uncontrolled deployment and the release of metal fragments when triggered. These could injure occupants.

The passenger airbag modules of the affected vehicles will be replaced in the workshop. The KBA monitors the recall with the reference number “012216”, and the internal code is H361.
