Honda Malaysia hits 80.2 percent replacement for faulty driver airbag inflators

By CARSIFU | 4 July 2017


PETALING JAYA: The completion rate by Honda Malaysia for Takata driver front airbag inflators stands at 80.2%, as at June 29th 2017.

Replacement activities at Shopping Mall Hubs will be ongoing on every weekend in the month of July, beginning 8 July 2017.

This is in addition to the ongoing replacement activities at all authorised Honda dealers and selected Petronas Stations.

The replacement activities at selected Petronas Stations will continue operating as usual.

It is important that affected owners immediately replace the defective Takata front airbag inflators as they may deploy with excessive internal pressure when activated.

The airbag inflator casing might rupture, which may result in injury or fatality of the driver and passenger. 

Honda Malaysia strongly urges affected owners to make an appointment at any Authorised Honda Service Centres to avoid any delays or setbacks.

However, replacement activities at selected Shopping Mall Hubs and Petronas Stations DO NOT require advanced appointment (excluding Civic Type R).

As at June 29th, 2017, stock availability for Takata driver front airbag inflators is 100%.

Stock availability for Takata passenger front airbag inflators is also at 100% while completion rate is currently at 55.9%.
