Jaguar Land Rover North America on June 25 announced it was recalling 250,857 vehicles due to a problem with the driver’s side airbag that may lead to deployment failure in the event of a crash.
In a recall report filed with the National Highway Safety Transportation Administration (NHTSA), Jaguar Land Rover said it had identified a problem with the clockspring in the driver’s side airbag caused by corrosion from repetitive micro-movements. The clockspring’s “fretting” could lead to increased resistance in the airbag’s electric circuit and result in deployment failure. The notice was posted to the NHTSA’s X account.
