The National Consumer Commission (NCC) hereby informs consumers about the recall of the Jaguar E-PACE as notified by the supplier.
Jaguar Land Rover Limited informed the NCC that they are recalling the 2021 to 2024 Jaguar E-PACE models due to an issue with the passenger airbag. According to the supplier, the airbag may tear during deployment due to improper folding during the assembly process. A torn airbag may reduce occupant protection and increase the risk of injury in a crash. Additionally, a torn airbag could allow hot gases to escape, potentially causing burns to occupants.
Affected consumers are urged to immediately contact the nearest authorised dealership of these motor vehicles to have the module and associated components replaced at no charge.
