JLR Australia is recalling the Jaguar E-Pace small SUV due to a defective passenger airbag.
“Due to a manufacturing defect, the passenger airbag may tear during deployment,” the company says in its recall notice.
“This could cause hot gas to escape from the airbag and result in insufficient protection to the passenger.
“In the event of an accident, the airbag not deploying as intended and hot gas escaping towards the vehicle occupants could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants.”
