As soon as reasonably possible.....with the emphasis on reasonably.....and reasonably meaning different things to consumers, regulators and manufacturers.

At the end of the day, if Takata simply doesn't have the replacement stock, there is not a lot that the vehcle manfacturers can do. They can't just shazam the bags out of thin air.

How much power does an Australian Government agency have over a foreign manufacturer to enforce any self determined timeframe (2020) for completion of the recall program anyway ?

Interesting times ahead.

I guess my point is they need to chose their words a bit more carefully, this isn't something that would have been thrown on their desk first thing in the morning. This would have been known to those for a few days so don't go blazing out the urgency theme when consumers can't actually do much at the moment.

Agree.....I'm not trying to defend the process or those making the decisions.

With the creation of a sense of urgency, they are now being seen to be doing something, as ineffectual as that may actually be.

Just got my recall done today and it proved why I dislike dealerships- they decided to hook my auxiliary socket back up incorrectly causing the fuse in my gps to blow and also burn out my usb adaptator. Then when I didn’t drive out straight away because of this the mechanic then claimed my install was dodgy and that caused it. They then put the incorrect fuse into my gps(works but isn’t the correct one) just to get me out of their driveway, not happy jan

Hallelujah, The NZ Government (the new Labour Government) has issued a mandatory recall today effecting about 50,000 vehicles.

I'm glad we had a change of government as the new Labour Government is taking some real steps to tackle big issues where as the previous NAtional government where very much hands off and letting capitalist markets dictate how things went.

Everyone can now check their vehicles by rego plates.
