AIR BAGS: AIR BAG/RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE:SOFTWARE
Failure of the air bags to deploy properly increases the risk of injury in a crash.
3 safety recall campaigns, 27 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
Failure of the air bags to deploy properly increases the risk of injury in a crash.
In the event of a crash, the incorrect calibration may not activate the air bag deployment as intended, increasing the risk of injury.
IF THE WIPER ARMS LOSE SYNCHRONIZATION AND CLASH, THEY COULD DETACH FROM THE VEHICLE, REDUCING A DRIVER'S VISIBILITY AND INCREASING THE RISK OF CRASH.
Two 2011 JAGUAR XJs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
