What's wrong?
The front passenger seat frame in the 2020 Jaguar I-Pace is the metal structure under and inside the seat that gives the seat its shape and strength. Its fasteners hold the frame pieces together so the seat stays solid while a passenger sits, adjusts position, and is restrained by the vehicle during a crash.
On the recalled I-Pace, the seat frame left the supplier with fasteners missing. Jaguar traced the problem to a change in fastener controls on the normal production line that was not carried into the rework area. That left older fastener identification in use, so incorrect fasteners were not identified and the seat was released before correction was complete.
There is no warning sign before failure. The seat can look normal from the outside even though the frame lacks the fasteners it needs for full strength.
