MANUFACTURER: Jaguar Cars Ltd.
MFR'S REPORT DATE: August 01, 2008

SUMMARY:
Jaguar is recalling 7,918 M/Y 2009 XF vehicles. The rear safety belt D-Ring assembly may not rotate properly around the safety belt anchorage
mounting bolt. if the assembly is not held together when tightening, the d-ring and/or washer can separate from the shoulder of the spacer, allowing these
parts to be partially clamped by the spacer, forming a burr on either the d-ring or the washer and subsequently limiting proper rotation of the D-Ring.
CONSEQUENCE:
In the event of a crash, a seat occupant may not be properly restrained increasing the risk of personal injury.
REMEDY:
Dealers will inspect the outboard rear safety belt D-Ring and, if necessary, the D-Ring assembly will be removed and any burrs on the D-Ring or washer
filed flat. The D-Ring assembly will then be reinstalled to correct the condition. The recall is expected to begin on or before August 25, 2008. Owners
may contact JAGUAR AT 1-800-452-4827.
