Honda_Takata_SRS_Airbag

Takata’s faulty airbag inflators have killed three people in Malaysia, with the latest crash possibly killing its fourth victim. While this is a life and death matter, it appears that awareness is lacking, as only a small percentage of car owners have actually sent their cars in for rectification works.

Whilst most deaths occurred in Honda vehicles, other vehicle makes are also affected by the Takata recall, including Nissan, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Subaru and Mazda.

If you own one of the below models, please take your vehicle in for an inspection.
