Jaguar E-Pace recalled due to seat belt issue

Jaguar Land Rover Australia has issued a recall for 133 of its E-Pace models sold from June 2020 until February 2021.

The British manufacturer claims an incorrect wiring harness configuration in its restraints control module (RCM) has linked the pre-tensioner for the seat belts to the wrong seat.

This means if the driver's seat is occupied but the passenger seat is not, the pre-tensioner would fail to operate in the event of an accident, which could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants.
