PETALING JAYA: Honda Malaysia is urging affected customers who have yet to replace their defective Takata airbags to come forward.
Such airbags may deploy with excessive internal pressure when activated and their inflator casing might rupture which may injure or kill occupants, it said.
As at September 20, Honda Malaysia has completed more than 236,800 units of
Takata driver front airbag inflator which translates to 90% completion ratio. The total number of Takata driver and passenger front airbag inflator replacements completed is at more than 496,400 units or 84%.
The remaining affected Takata airbag Honda vehicles comprise a range of models yet to be replaced.
Stock availability for both driver and passenger front airbag inflator replacement is at 100% for all models. The replacement of the airbag inflators is free of charge.
A total of 94 Honda authorised service dealers nationwide are on standby to prioritise affected Takata airbag inflators. Honda Malaysia also has mobile hubs and mobile teams to handle the fixes.
The company said it will continue to work closely with the Ministry of Transport and Road Transport Department to further emphasise to the affected motorists the urgency to replace these airbags.
For details, call the Honda toll free number 1-800-88-2020.
