This is a message is directed to all licensed vehicle owners and drivers
and is advising that a check should be carried out immediately to see if
there are any outstanding recalls on their vehicles. If a recall is
indicated the manufacturer should be contacted to see what the issue is and
to arrange for it to be rectified. Repairs carried out by Manufacturers in
relation to recalls are usually done so free of charge.
The reason for this reminder is that we have had recent information that
there is an issue with some airbags manufactured by a company named Takata.
These airbags are fitted in a variety of vehicles across a number of
different manufacturers. It is being reported that in the event of an
impact where the airbag is deployed, the inflator part of the airbag may
ignite in such a manner that it creates excessive internal pressure. As a
result, the metal inflator casing may rupture, causing metal fragments to
be propelled through the airbag and into the vehicle. This could result in
a serious injury to you or your passengers.
As a matter of course it is recommended that all licensed vehicle owners
make regular checks to ensure that there are no recalls on their vehicles.
It is also strongly advised that drivers also do these checks on any
vehicle that they hiring or sharing to ensure that these checks are not
missed by the owners.
Driver safety and the safety of your passengers is paramount.
