A “critical” safety alert from major car manufacturers has been issued for 20,000 cars still with faulty airbags on Australian roads.
Car makers including Mitsubishi, Toyota, BMW, Holden and GM are affected.
The ACCC warned anyone driving one of these brands and already affected by the recall notice to return the vehicle to the dealership or manufacturers as a matter of urgency.
They issued an urgent safety alert on Friday for the Takata airbags following the warnings from major car manufacturers.
“The ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) is urging consumers not to drive these cars at all until the airbag has been replaced,” the regulator said in a statement.
“It is strongly recommended that owners of vehicles with critical airbags stop driving their vehicles immediately.
“The supplier should offer to arrange for your vehicle to be towed to the place of replacement or for a qualified technician to travel to you (or some similar arrangement) so that you do not have to drive your vehicle if you do not wish to do so,” the statement read.
The ACCC added that 425,971 vehicles are still to be rectified under the compulsory recall.
More to come.
