Thread: AIR BAG RECALL

Takata airbag recall: Holden and Tesla yet to give details

They quote Jag Land Rover with 17,500 vehicles:

Jaguar-Land Rover: 17,500
Jaguar XE 2007-2017
Jaguar XF 2016 and 2017
Jaguar F-PACE 2017
Range Rover (Vogue) 2007-2012​
Discovery Sport 2015-2017

But I have not found an official site listing them.

Not in a D3/D4 your not..
But a FFRR up to 2012 gets new bags..

2007 - 2012 Range Rover (passenger) & 2015 - 2017 Discovery Sport (driver)
are the vehicles which will be recalled in stages over the next 2 years starting with the oldest vehicles first.

Our 2009 Forester had the passenger's airbag replaced late last year. We didn't get a letter asking us to come in - I went onto the Suby website and booked it in for the following week. It was done on the day I requested.

They apparently have a reverse gear!

That was my take on it too. The recently manufactured, old design bags are safe for a few years. So, better being able to drive than not at all if you were left waiting for the production run of new 'completely safe' bags to come into the market.

This is all really old news,,,

I think the airbag has to dry out before the problems occur.
