The 2013 Jaguar XJ has 5 recalls, the most serious involving a rear suspension toe link that can separate from the subframe under load, causing sudden loss of directional control.
The restraint system accounts for several other recalls. A software issue in the airbag control module can cause the front airbags to deploy improperly in a frontal crash, raising the risk of injury. A separate software calibration problem in the restraints control module on vehicles built during a narrow window in mid-2012 can also prevent the supplemental restraint system from operating correctly in a crash. The passenger seat occupant classification system on certain vehicles may also misread who is sitting in the seat, which can affect whether the airbag deploys at the right level for that occupant. Finally, some vehicles built in spring 2013 have a certification label that may be missing required weight information, which could contribute to the vehicle being loaded beyond its safe limits.
