2021 Jaguar E-Pace recalled with seatbelt fault

An incorrect wiring harness configuration could cause the seatbelt pre-tensioner to fail, according to the manufacturer.


Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) Australia has recalled 133 examples of its 2021 Jaguar E-Pace small SUV, citing a potential fault with the seatbelt pre-tensioner.

The affected vehicles were sold between 16 June 2020 and 24 February 2021 (Model Year 2021).

The recall notice, lodged with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), says: “An incorrect wiring harness configuration to the restraints control module (RCM) links the wrong seat belt buckle – this can cause the driver's seatbelt pre-tensioner to not function, unless the front passenger seat is occupied.”

“In the event of an accident, the driver's seat belt pre-tensioner may not operate when required. This could increase the risk of injury or, in the case of a serious accident, increase the risk of death to vehicle occupants,” the notice continues.

When asked if there had been recorded cases of the fault locally, a spokesperson for Jaguar Land Rover Australia told CarAdvice: "This move is precautionary only."
