What owners report

The contact stated that the seat belt is automatic on the driver's side. Once seated in the driver's seat, the belt will automatically close over his shoulder. The failure is due to a belt winch assembly. Nhtsa campaign id number 93v179000 (seat belts) was referenced.
On march 14, 2007, a passenger had to be cut from the driver's side rear of the vehicle because the seat belt failed to unlatch. Since that time, the contact has not been able to get a replacement part from the manufacturer nor the jaguar dealer. The contact referenced safety recall # 93v179000 (seat belts).
Seatbelt mechanism failed (seized and did not allow movement or use of belt)..I just read that this was a recall but we never were informed
