Takata airbag recall: Is your car on the list?

[imastawka]

https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/takata-airbag-recall-is-your-car-on-the-list/ar-BBJG3WQ?oci...

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.

It really surprised us Stawks, had no idea that could even happen.  It was what the suppliers sent them .. really weird but they were so good about it.

[travlyn2012]

The recall in Australia has been happening for around the last  15 to 18 months, or close to it.

I remember the AACC has listed some vehicles around the end of 2016 that were affected and since then the media,  including TV has done a number of reports on this.

The list of vehicles has grown since then.

The issue is that some of these vehicles may have been sold a number of times since the first recall started.

There will be some owners who couldnt be bothered about having it replaced. An associate of mine was aware of this (after I told him about the recall on a Nissan, at the start of 2017). He has not bothered to do anything about it.

[imastawka]

Well then, I certainly wouldn't be a passenger in their car.

Also some would be put off by some dealerships saying that a service must be done at the same time.  Just so they could get paid for the man hours needed to replace the airbags.

This happened to my daughter and she dobbed them in to head office.

[travlyn2012]

I would not get in the vehicle at all.

At least 4 years back he was also notified about a recall on the accelerator pedal. Never had that done either.

Being a safety issue, with the possibility of death, I think the relative governing bodies in each state, (eg, NSW Rms / Rta, Vic Roads etc) should be supplied details of the faulty vehicles (Chassis numbers etc)  and then the owners of the vehicles contacted to have them replaced within an acceptable time (depending on dealer workloads & availabilty of parts). After repairs, the owner can produce the documentaion from the dealer showing it has been done.

If owners dont have them done, the Governing bodies could defect or de-register the vehicle.

I would not rely on the vehicle owners word.

[davidc4430]

you and stawks raise very important points.

if these things are so dangerouse it requires the biggest recall ever

surely the cars are not safe to be driven?

why is it the cars are not pulled off the road until the airbags are replaced and a certificate showing its been done is produced.

prolly because of money, hmmm

[imastawka]

It'd be a huge exercise, David.  And yes, money would be the problem

I think the government is doing all they can atm.

You can only put the info out there.  It's up to people what they do with it.

[janeababe]

I got my letter last November. I couldn't get in until March  this year. My letter states there is over 53 million affected cars Australia wide, so replacement parts will be short on supply and priority will be given to older cars. 

Last year, I had a recall for the bonnet hatch. .......  twice!  Even that took months to get an appt. 

My car goes in next week.  Subaru Tribecca. 

It it just seems never ending.        *sigh*         😐😐😐
