What NHTSA recorded

The normal lockup function of the automatic (passive) belt reel can cause the belt motor winch assembly to lockup such that the passive belt system will not deploy/function or gets stuck at various points along the track causing the kinking or breaking of its cable or detachment of the tongue.

Possible consequence

If this occurs the occupants of the vehicle cannot usethe safety belts, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a sudden stopor accident.

Remedy

Jaguar will repair the passive belt system if this problem occurs or has occurred. Jaguar will notify owners of the existence of a lifetime warranty on components of the automatic (passive) belt system.
