What's wrong?
The passenger occupant classification system in the 2014-2015 Jaguar F-Type helps decide whether the front passenger airbag turns on in a crash. The seat sensor reads whether the seat is occupied, and the seatbelt tension sensor reads belt tension so the system can tell when a child restraint is being used.
On affected F-Type vehicles, the wiring harness connector between those sensors was built incorrectly. The ground wire was placed in the signal wire position, so the control module received an electrical reading that looked normal even though the connector was wrong. Because of that, the system did not create a fault code.
There is no warning sign before failure. In a crash, the passenger restraint system can make the wrong airbag decision for the person or child restraint in the front passenger seat, reducing occupant protection.
Who's affected?
Spans the 2014 and 2015 model years, with the same wiring component in scope for both.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific car is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the occupant-sensing system wiring is wrong, the front passenger air bag stays active instead of being suppressed for a child restraint or a small-statured occupant. In a crash with air bag deployment, that occupant faces increased injury risk. There is no reported warning sign before this condition. Repair is free at any franchised Jaguar dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014-2015 Jaguar F-Type is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Jaguar dealer to schedule the free seatbelt-harness connector wiring correction so the restraint system reads the passenger seat and seatbelt tension correctly.
- Bring the recall notice if Jaguar mailed one. If not, reference recall number 14V714 when you call.
- Keep child restraints and small-stature occupants out of the front passenger seat until the repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jaguar technician corrects the seatbelt harness connector wire configuration between the Seatbelt Tension Sensor and the Occupant Classification Sensor Control Module. That wiring lets the restraint system read whether the front passenger seat is occupied and whether a child restraint is using the seatbelt, so the passenger airbag logic receives the right signals. The recall repair is available through a Jaguar dealer. Parts and labor are free under the recall.
