check my airbag australia Page 1045

Worried your car’s airbag might be the dodgy kind? Sensible move.

In Australia, check by entering your VIN on your carmaker’s recall page or the government Product Safety Australia database; there’s also the industry-backed “Is My Airbag Safe” checker.

If it flags a Takata recall—especially “critical/alpha”—don’t drive; call your dealer and book a free replacement immediately (towing or a loan car may be offered).

Bring your rego and VIN, confirm both driver and passenger bags, and don’t pay a cent—recall work is free.

Still unsure? Ring the dealer’s service desk with your VIN and they’ll sort it quicker than you can say “airbag inflator”.
