5. SRS DID NOT DEPLOY AIRBAGS AS INTENDED

   R/2017/195 · 31 Jul 2017

   31 Jul 2017

   Defect

   When connected to Jaguar Land Rover�s Symptom Driven Diagnostics (SDD) device and an update is unsuccessfully undertaken the calibration may default to a pre-set condition. In the event of a frontal impact of a sufficient severity to require the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) to deploy the front airbags the airbags will deploy but at impact thresholds that exceed those which provide the required occupant protection. Failure of the airbags to deploy as required can lead to increased injuries to the occupants.

   Remedy

   Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and update the RCM with the latest software.

    Defect

    The positive cable fixing to the alternator may come loose and lead to an elevated risk of fire. Additionally there are concerns raised regarding the fixings for the engine mounted belt driven ancillaries. If the fixings fail power assistance to the steering can be lost and more input from the driver will be required to steer the vehicle.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and torque the front ancillary fixings to the correct specification.

Where this condition existswater and detritus can collect and be held in contact causing the corrosion protection to abrade. This can lead in time to brake fluid leakage increased brake pedal travel and in some cases reduced or loss of service brake performance.

    Remedy

    Recalled vehicles will have the subject brake pipes inspected. Those displaying red rust on the pipes or unions will be replaced.
