EARLY ONE MORNING WE FOUND OUR CAR ENGULFED IN FLAMES. FIRE APPARENTLY STARTED IN TRUNK AREA, WHERE BATTERY IS CONTAINED. THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN THAT DAY. FIRE 'INVESTIGATION' REVEALED NOTHING. CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THIS MODEL HAD A RECALL THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED 5 WEEKS PRIOR TO MY CAR BEING MANUFACTURED. I DON'T BELIEVE IT IS TRULY FIXED. NO ONE--NOT INSURANCE, JAGUAR OR DOT HERE SEEMS TO CARE A CAR BURST INTO FLAME AND WAS A 100K LOSS! IT WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. I FEEL THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR OTHER 2015 XJL SUPERCHARGED OWNERS. IF I'D BEEN DRIVING, I COULD HAVE EASILY PERISHED OR CAUSED A MAJOR INCIDENT ON A HIGHWAY INVOLVING OTHERS.

15V037000 · Air Bags

Jan 27, 2015

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."

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: 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.
