I get that you can’t just show up, I just live in hope that two spring clips and a single plug can be swapped over relatively quickly rather than taking half a day.
Reality will probably be drop it in in the morning and pick it up after work. Something that’s a bit of a pain but infinitely doable.

What concerns me is when did Volkswagen suspect, and when did they know? I mean Volkswagen have shown themselves to be honest ( dieselgate), caring ( monkey gassing) engineering masters (dry clutch DSG) and not prone to blaming the customer (twincharged engine). Look, this is my wife's car. We have had a couple of minor accidents, fortunately none bad enough to set off the airbags. Also, many more people have been saved by takata airbags than killed by them. I'm still angry that companies like Toyota, Honda and BMW have been informing their customers for years, and VW hasn't. I object to having my wife, children and grandchild put in danger without so much as a warning.

Trouble is, multiply that by around 70,000 VWs. Plus the millions of others.

It's all the 1%ers that take up time. Re-setting the clock, basic setting the auto up/down of the windows, re-learning the steering angle sensor, the paperwork... did I mention paperwork?

The article said all other manufacturers (not just VW) will be on the site by April.

My son who works for Mazda has just been through over 12 months of this and Mazda have now done over 90% of all cars and every owner who has not had it done has been contacted multiple times. I can't understand why anyone here has not heard about it as it has been in every newspaper and news outlet multiple times over the last 12 months including two fatalities in Australia. The explosive is supposed to be progressive in nature but due to moisture the separate explosive pellets bond together and explode as one thus the container they are in disintegrates into shrapnel which can then seriously injure or kill the driver. Apparently the problem has been known for nearly 15 years but Takata covered it up and I think as recently as a few months ago I think it was Mercedes Benz Australia who put out a media release saying they did not think the problem warranted a recall at all!

My understanding is that Mitsubishi are leading the pack, and they have only done just under 60% of vehicles.
The ACCC has ordered manufacturers to provide VINs of those additional affected vehicles by April 3, so they can be added to the compulsory recall list.
