Jaguar Land Rover is reported to be recalling 54,000 vehicles in the U.S. in the latest round of Takata airbag recalls. The recall covers 20,000 Jaguar XF sedans and 34,000 Range Rovers for frontal passenger airbag inflators that may rupture.
The first phase of the recall covers certain 2009 Jaguar XF models and certain 2007 Range Rovers. Land Rover is also recalling certain 2007-08 Range Rovers. Jaguar Land Rover says that prolonged exposure to combined high heat and humidity can cause the affected inflators to degrade potentially resulting in metal fragments striking the passenger or other occupants, resulting in serious injury or death.
