Massive Airbag Recall on Patrols and other vehicles...

Had mine done yesterday here in Canberra.

was it a big job? do you know if they even touched the dashboard?

Don't know to either. If they can get at it with the glove box removed then wouldn't need to remove the dash I assume, else out comes the dash.

My Mrs dropped it off at the dealer early in the morning and picked it up late afternoon, she works just down the road from them so it was easier for her to drop it off. The "man" said all done when she picked it up, no issues he spoke of, no "obvious" signs of what they actually did. The $0 invoice says "Carried out recall R2508, PATROL TAKATA AIRBAG"

Do we have to chase this up or do they look us up through motor reg or something and get in touch with us?

They look us up through motor reg, no need to do anything.

Hi Chubba,

All handled by AUSTROADS using the NEVDIS program: http://www.austroads.com.au
The system handles all safety recalls, police licence and registration checks etc. it's a national system and no longer state based. I was part of a small team that developed, wrote and maintained the application years ago. For a safety recall the maker supplies the VIN range and the application supplies the registered owner details.
System has probably been improved since I worked on it but it's a nifty application.

Just got my recall letter again telling me parts are in and ready to book the car in. Going there today to discuss possibility of replacing the bubble dash while at it... Wasting my time I know ...
