Takata Airbag Recall still in effect

Over 2.4 millions cars are affected by the Takata Airbag Recall, with one death and a case of serious injury. Car manufacturers are being told to hunt down all afftected cars and have them replaced by 2020.

“The compulsory recall will force manufacturers, importers, dealers and other suppliers to ensure that all dangerous Takata airbags are located and replaced as soon as possible,” Sukkar said. “Importantly for consumers, vehicle manufacturers will be required to cover the full cost of replacing these airbags.” Federal assistant minister to the Treasurer, Michael Sukkar, said. “Unfortunately there’s been one death, and one case of serious injury in Australia as a result of the deployment of these airbags, and the government just doesn’t want to see any more.”
