The problem

On certain sedans equipped with moonroofs, a reinforcement bar was incorrectly assembled so that the bar may contact the glass in the moonroof. When closing a door or upon severe road impact, it is possible that the moonroof glass may shatter.

The risk

If the glass shatters, there is a risk of injury to the vehicle occupants.

The fix

Dealers will replace the moonroof free of charge. The recall began on march 27, 2006. Owners may contact jaguar at 1-800-452-4827.
