AutoExec Summary
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) reported that over 3.6 million Takata airbags have been replaced in more than 2.6 million cars, but 155,000 vehicles still have faulty airbags. As the 2020 recall deadline approaches, the ACCC is urging motorists to get their cars checked immediately. The faulty airbags have the potential to spray occupants with high-velocity shrapnel and have caused 29 deaths globally. About 6000 of the vehicles still containing potentially deadly Takata airbags are considered so dangerous that they should not be driven at all.
