This is a serious issue.

Fortunately at this stage there are no Holdens on the list but some of you may have family members who drive one of the vehicles listed.
Check the PRA number at the government link for detailed info

Thanks heaps for sharing that info and giving everybody the heads up.
This has been really helpful for me already.......
I am going to check out a ZRE152 Corolla Ascent Hatchback this arvo for the missus that is amongst those year models listed.
Will definitely be checking the VIN number to see if it is effected and the airbag needs to be replaced.

you would be fuming if you owned the 458

Nah. If you could afford one of those you could afford a dunger to get around in while the Fazza was being fixed.

The companies that made these cars should have to remove these faulty airbags and let the cars drive around without them until a suitable replacement is available. It would have to be safer to drive a car without these faulty airbags.

yep...I was thinking a similar thing.
I reckon I'd be off to the local dealership and request they be removed...then wait till I'm satisfied the issue is resolved.

Please double-check this list and make sure your friends are aware, there was a recent scandal about some dealers(svc dept) not alerting owners that their car is part of this recall.
