Transport Canada recalls
02- Lights And Instruments#2015026
336 units affected
Certain vehicles may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 - Lighting System and Retro reflective Devices. Parking lamps may not have been programmed properly and may fail to remain illuminated. This could reduce vehicle conspicuity, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will update the vehicle with the latest software.
- Electrical#2013268
183 units affected
Certain vehicles equipped with a convertible roof fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 118 – Power-Operated Window, Partition and Roof Panel Systems. The overhead switch (which operates the convertible roof and the power windows) does not operate in the manner prescribed by the Standard. This could result in inadvertent power window activation, which could cause injury if a body part becomes trapped by a closing window. Correction: Dealers will replace the overhead roof console assembly with an updated version.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Risk: If the parking lamps turn off, the vehicle will have reduced conspicuity, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will update software that controls the front side lamps, free of charge. The recall began March 5, 2015. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is J049.

Risk: The power windows may inadvertently be activated and pinch or injure an arm or finger.
