Four million vehicles recalled over faulty airbags
Up to a million more cars could be recalled over faulty airbags, bringing the total count of affected vehicles to four million.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has supplied a final recommendation on the proposed compulsory recall for defective Takata airbags to Assistant Minister to the Treasurer Michael Sukkar MP.
"The Minister will announce his decision on the matter in due course once he has had time to fully consider the ACCC's recommendation," an ACCC spokesperson said in a statement.
News Limited reports the recommendation included a range of European vehicles which had previously been excluded, including Audi, Volkswagon and European-sourced Ford and Holdens.
More than three million Australian cars have already been recalled over the potentially deadly devices, which have claimed 23 lives and caused hundreds of injuries worldwide.
"It's the best interest of the customer. This is pretty important. The impact is quite severe," Mitsubishi Australia CEO, John Signoriello said.
