The Federal Government is today expected to announce the compulsory recall of vehicles affected by the defective Takata airbags. That will affect 2.3 millions Australian cars.
The consumer body Choice calls these airbags "ticking time bombs": they have been linked to 20 deaths around the world.
Below is the current list of almost 90 affected cars, motorcycles and trucks.
More makes and models are expected to be added later today as part of the recall.
If you think your car could be one of those recalled, Product Safety Australia recommends:
■ Check the list to see if your vehicle is affected
■ Contact a dealership or the vehicle manufacturer to get their airbag replaced
■ Refer to the FAQs on Takata airbag recalls for further information.

Very bad taste, Joz, if you read the link I posted just prior to yours.

I didn't read it

To those who've had it fixed how long did it take, were you able to wait?

I had my car recalled and recalled a second time for the same problem. I suppose I shouldn't laugh, but they (somehow) accidently put the same faulty bags in again because they didn't notice that they were the same batch, then had to replace them a second time ...
Mind you, the dealership was wonderful about it, free morning tea and lunch and a free car wash ...

It's absolutely free, Joz. Takes a couple of hours.
Tas, that happened to my daughter. Needed to replace the replacement.
