Default Air Bag Recall 2.3 million Cars in Australia

according to newscorp there are 2.3 million cars affected here in Australia and 100 million worldwide by the dodgy Takata air bags that have been responsible for several deaths world wide and many more injuries.

this includes a Sydney man last year who was killed when a shard from the faulty airbog lodged into his throat killing him after a collision

it would seem that vehicles affected range from Ford to Toyota and just about everything in between, but I haven't heard if Jeep is affected

according to reports the Federal Government will lead the recall

the dodgy air bags were first exposed a couple of years ago but to my knowledge it was dealt with, but now the problem seems to have expanded to a wider vehicle base

has any Jeep owner here had any official recall?

news reports also indicate that vehicle that do not have their air bags replaced will be deemed un-road worthy and will not be able to be sold
