    Takata Airbag Recall - Holdens?

    Huge headlines in today's paper saying Holden is now affected by the Takata airbag recall. Over the top sensationalism or just a few obscure models imported from overseas involved? Suburban?

    Even https://www.productsafety.gov.au/rec...g-recalls-list doesn't list any Holdens.

    One of my mates got a recall from Subie for his REX. Was for passenger side airbag only though.

    Mustangs on the list, wonder if they will get airbags that will drag the ANCAP from 2 to 2.1 stars?

    Ive had a nissan and a mitsubishi with this issue. Both occasions i contacted the manufacturer to get it fixed. Nissan took 6 months to book it in and fix. After 12 months with the mitsubishi i sold the car and it still wasnt done despite numerous follow ups.
    Pretty pathetic given how dangerous it is
