The all-new Jaguar XF is being hailed as the savior of the brand, but apparently the big cat wasn’t exactly perfect when it rolled off the assembly line. Jaguar has announced the recall of over 7,900 2009 model year XF sedans in the U.S.
The recall is due to a potentially defective rear safety belt assembly. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the lack of proper restraint could pose the threat of increased personal injury in the event of a crash. No injuries or accidents have been linked to the defect.
Jaguar dealers will inspect the vehicles in question and will make all necessary repairs.

They should recall all of them and change those awful headlaps and that totally generic grill!
The dashboard is another area that scores very high on quality, materials and feel, but fails when it comes to design quality! I’ve never seen such boring and bland interior design since the 80s!
So yeah, I don’t like this Jag!

Losing design, losing car, losing customers.

When I read the headline, I thought, “What’s the matter? Why are they recalling them? Are they not dripping enough oil?”

I didn’t realize they’d sold that many. Jaguar ir really painted into a corner of its own making. The XF couldn’t look like any other Jaguar or it would be panned and ignored as just another cartoon of past glories like the the Xj, X, and S. They had to do something completely different and modern. Somehow, it came out lookiing like Japanese COPY of Jaguar.

Wow…Toyota releases a recall where their windows shatter when you roll them up, and everyone says “Well, I’m glad Toyota’s volunarily fixing it. That’s what a company should do”. Then when Jag or GM voluntarily recall cars for issues in which NO INJURIES ARE REPORTED, you say “typical”.
Who leads this year in most cars recalled? Toyota or VW? Because it isn’t GM anymore.

Inline6, actually I think it is GM, with the 900 thousand cars just recalled.
I saw this car for the first time the other day, and it’s gorgeous. The rear looks like an Aston MArtin, and it has a well-balanced silhouette with just enough aggressivity to look a littel menacing as well. I love it!

Deanster, I did too, and I thought it was an Aston Martin until I got around to the front. It was beautiful.

The original concept ‘asian’ headlight design was stronger. They really were attention grabbing. The grille is nice but the lights and body work just look to pedestrian. The competition is just to stiff to play it safe these days, you gotta have that something special in this segment of the market. Putting a jag badge on a Hyundai look a like wont cut it.
