Known issues on the 1990 XJ6. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the rear brake caliper fixing bolt, whose head can break off and leave only the bolt shank in place, increasing stopping distances and raising the risk of an accident. The second covers the automatic passive seat belt system, where the belt motor winch assembly can lock up so the belt fails to deploy or gets stuck along its track, kinking or breaking the cable or detaching the tongue, leaving occupants without a working restraint in a sudden stop. Owners have filed 10 complaints for the year and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From a rear caliper inspection to servicing the passive belt system or a routine tune-up, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1990 XJ6.
THE NORMAL LOCKUP FUNCTION OF THE AUTOMATIC (PASSIVE) BELT REEL CAN CAUSE THE BELT MOTOR WINCH ASSEMBLY TO LOCKUP SUCH THAT THE PASSIVE BELT SYSTEM WILL NOT DEPLOY/FUNCTION OR GETS STUCK AT VARIOUS PO
IF THIS OCCURS THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE CANNOT USETHE SAFETY BELTS, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJUR
JAGUAR WILL REPAIR THE PASSIVE BELT SYSTEM IF THIS PROBLEM OCCURS OR HAS OCCURRED. JAGUAR WILL NOTIF
