The recall has been around for a number of years but the car manufacturers have been dragging the chain on doing it mainly because there wasn't enough spare airbags because it effects millions of cars worldwide.
Now the government has decided to add some teeth to the recall after sitting on its hands for at least 3 years.
Fortunately for many a lot of affected vehicles are already fixed under the voluntary recall but still too many remain unrepaired.
I reckon the federal automobile chamber of commerce lobby group has been working hard behind the scenes in canberra to ensure the government didn't go the heavy but now for whatever the reason the government has grown some khunas.
Lastly a lot of wreckers will not sell secondhand airbags for any make or model because of this recall
