Is your vehicle on the recall list? Car makers with faulty airbags revealed

More than 2.3 million cars have been placed on a compulsory recall list over concerns of exploding airbags which have been linked to 23 deaths worldwide, including at least one in Australia.

The federal government on Wednesday took the unprecedented step of ordering the recall of cars fitted with the faulty Takata airbags.

Assistant minister to the Treasurer, Michael Sukkar, said Ford, GM Holden, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla, Jaguar, Land Rover, Volkswagen, Audi and Skoda had all been added to a compulsory list, with manufacturers given until April 3 to provide details of the models impacted to the ACCC.

They join BMW, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Ferrari, GMC, Honda, Jeep, Lexus, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Toyota, Volvo and Hino Trucks, which were in 2017 subjected to a voluntary recall.

A total of four million vehicles in Australia have been affected by the faulty airbags. In 2017, 2.7 million vehicles were voluntarily recalled, and 1.7 million had their airbags replaced.

The 2.3 million vehicles announced in a compulsory recall on Wednesday include the outstanding one million cars that did not have their airbags voluntarily replaced.

"The compulsory recall will capture approximately 2.3 million vehicles that still have a defective airbag that needs replacement. This includes vehicles made by Ford, GM Holden, Mercedes Benz, Tesla, Jaguar, Land Rover, Volkswagen, Audi and Skoda," Mr Sukkar said in a statement.

“There's no doubt that this is one of the largest and most significant recalls in the nation's history, with a total of four million cars affected by defective airbags. This equates to around two in seven cars on the road.

"All defective Takata airbags will need to be replaced by 31 December 2020.

“Priority will be given to airbags assessed as high risk, based on the following factors, aged, particularly where it's over six years of age, location of the vehicle, particularly in areas of high heat and humidity, and the location of the airbag within the vehicle.”

"There have been serious injuries and deaths from faulty Takata airbags," the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission warned.

"The inflator components may deteriorate and subsequently misdeploy in an incident causing metal fragments to propel out of the airbag."

Peter Khoury from National Roads and Motorists’ Association (NRMA) told Sunrise the importance of replacing faulty airbags cannot be understated.

“This is massive, unprecedented and huge and highly warranted, this is a very serious global safety issue,” he said.

Manufacturers of GM Holden, Tesla, Jaguar, Land Rover, Volkswagen, Audi and Skoda have until April 3 to provide details of the additional recalled vehicles to the ACCC.

A Tesla spokesperson told Yahoo7 News they are offering their full cooperation to ACCC.

"The previous mandatory recalls did not affect Tesla vehicles in Australia because none posed an elevated risk, and no formal change has been communicated at this time," the spokesperson said.

"As with the millions of other vehicles with Takata airbags, any recalls will occur following communication received by the ACCC and will be undertaken within the timeframe."

The minister’s office said as they are unable to identify which new models are affected, those concerned should contact their respective car dealers.

Yahoo7 News has contacted the manufacturers placed on the compulsory list for comment.
