## What is wrong

JAGUAR IS RECALLING 7,918 MY 2009 XF VEHICLES.  THE REAR SAFETY BELT D\-RING ASSEMBLY MAY NOT ROTATE PROPERLY AROUND THE SAFETY BELT ANCHORAGE MOUNTING BOLT.  IF THE ASSEMBLY IS NOT HELD TOGETHER WHEN TIGHTENING, THE D\-RING AND/OR WASHER CAN SEPARATE FROM THE SHOULDER OF THE SPACER, ALLOWING THESE PARTS TO BE PARTIALLY CLAMPED BY THE SPACER, FORMING A BURR ON EITHER THE D\-RING OR THE WASHER AND SUBSEQUENTLY LIMITING PROPER ROTATION OF THE D\-RING.


## What can happen

IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, A SEAT OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE OUTBOARD REAR SAFETY BELT D\-RING AND, IF NECESSARY, THE D\-RING ASSEMBLY WILL BE REMOVED AND ANY BURRS ON THE D\-RING OR WASHER FILED FLAT.  THE D\-RING ASSEMBLY WILL THEN BE REINSTALLED TO CORRECT THE CONDITION.   THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 29, 2008.  OWNERS MAY CONTACT JAGUAR AT 1\-800\-452\-4827.
