## What is wrong

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."


## What can happen

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.


## The remedy

Jaguar will notify owners, and supply a supplement to add to the owner's handbook, free of charge. The recall began March 2, 2015.  Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1\-800\-452\-4827.  Jaguar's number for this recall is J050.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
