Newest Air Bag Recall

[doc_777]

One of the big factors apparently is that previously, the German-manufactured inflators were not included in those requiring replacement.

True - they hadn't been previously included but there were a few problem ones identified last year in Spain, Portugal etc. My reading of it is that they are currently being replaced like for like as there is no long term solution as yet (December 2019). That means that eventually they will be required to be replaced again down the track. If that's the case then this will go on for years and will possibly include cars currently on sale.

Mazda have done over 90% as i wrote above. They went as far as air freighting to achieve that goal by last Christmas and they now regard it as basically all done. All the dealers had to reach a set target by Christmas and that was achieved. Some dealers were talking of putting on sub contractors because they did not have enough staff but I don't know if that actually happened.

I didn’t notice before that the Multivan is also on that list now. Looks like both my vehicles are going to get done at some point.

Hooray, I'm in the clear and don't need to engage in conspiracy theories and threats of legal action.

A marvellous way to cap off the week.

So this is for the drivers airbags right?

What about the other ones in the cars or are they different?

[Rooboy]

Really?? You haven't been keeping up with this have you? Given the volume of replacements and that a number of manufacturers have had delays while awaiting new parts, the liklihood of the replacements sitting around for years is about zero.

The VW page specifies whether it's drivers or passenger air bag that's affected.

Thanks, I hadn’t actually read the official statement until now.

My Golf is hopefully in the system under my current address after the engine rebuild last year at the dealer. The Multivan hasn’t been to a dealer since I moved... I suppose I’ll work that out eventually.
