What's wrong?
The seat belt retractor in the 2020-2022 Jaguar F-Pace, F-Type, and Xf is the spool mechanism that lets the belt pull out, retract, and lock when needed. For a child restraint, the automatic locking function holds the belt tight after the seat is installed, so the restraint stays secured against the vehicle seat.
On affected seat belts, a supplier manufacturing problem inside the retractor lets the ALR lever deactivate early. The belt then switches back to emergency locking mode, the mode used for adult occupants, where the belt can move during normal driving and locks only during a hard stop or crash.
An owner installing a child seat can think the belt is locked when it has already released tension. The child restraint system then is not held as firmly as intended. There is no warning sign before failure.

What's the safety risk?
An unsecured child restraint system increases the risk of injury during a crash because the seat belt assembly does not secure the restraint as intended. If your VIN is included, schedule the dealer inspection promptly and check each child seat installation before every trip. Repair is free at any franchised Jaguar dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020-2022 Jaguar F-Pace, F-Type, or Xf is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Jaguar dealer to schedule the free seat belt retractor inspection and seat belt assembly replacement that fixes the child-restraint locking problem.
- Bring the recall notice if Jaguar mailed one. If not, reference recall number 21V667 and Jaguar recall H378 when you call.
- Avoid installing a child restraint in an affected seating position until the dealer confirms the seat belt retractor locks correctly or completes the repair.
- Call Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827 with questions about scheduling or recall coverage.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jaguar technician inspects the seat belt assemblies and checks the production date on each assembly. If a seat belt assembly falls within the at risk production dates, the technician replaces it free under the recall. If the production date is outside that range, no further action is required. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through Jaguar's new vehicle warranty program, not through a separate reimbursement program, since the affected vehicles are still under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
