And make that twice in the month of December alone.

Fortunately, the issues aren’t that serious, although one has to do with a seat belt. It involved a problem with the seat belt at the rear. The belt D-ring assembly may not properly rotate around the belt anchorage mounting bolt, which could be dangerous during times of accidents. In times of a crash, the passenger may not be properly restrained and great danger may result. The recall involved approximately 7,918 2009 Jaguar FX models. The rear safety belt D-ring will be checked and may also be removed to correct problems on the D-ring or washer.

The second recall is due to an electrical problem. The car’s instrument panel is incorporated with an audio, giving feedbacks on functions such as those of the safety belt warnings. However, the wires supporting the speaker can easily get damaged and cause failure of this audio function. The solution? A software simply needs to be tweaked.

With today’s auto industry still unsure of its future, recalls like this, even by a trusted vehicle manufacturer like Jaguar, can do a lot of damage. People are getting more and more skeptical about buying vehicles, and these things are among the least we need right now. Too bad for such a great car like a Jaguar.
