If you own a car on the list above, it is fitted with a front driver’s side airbag with an affected Takata inflator which will need to be replaced.

Holden will contact all customers with impacted vehicles to let them know when parts are available and their airbag is ready to be replaced.

You can also contact Holden’s Customer Care line on 1800 632 826 quoting your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Your VIN can be found:

• On the bottom corner of the windscreen on the passenger side;
• Inside the driver’s door; and
• Near the firewall in the engine bay

Some Takata airbag inflators are made with non-desiccated Phase Stabilised Ammonium Nitrate (PSAN) as a propellant. As it gets older, a combination of high temperatures and humidity can cause the airbag inflator propellant to degrade. If the vehicle is involved in a collision, the airbag can go off with too much explosive force, causing sharp metal fragments to shoot out and kill or seriously injure people in the vehicle.

Airbag inflators impacted by the compulsory recall in Holden, Opel and Saab vehicles are only fitted to the driver's side (steering wheel mounted). Side and curtain airbags are not impacted.

GM and Holden expect that the inflators fitted to impacted vehicles will continue to perform as designed until a replacement airbag can be fitted.

Our vehicles do not have any Takata airbags with 'alpha' inflators, these airbags are widely reported to pose an immediate and extreme safety risk.

GM and Holden are continuing to closely monitor and study the performance of airbag inflators in GM vehicles on the road.

No, Holden has never fitted Takata 'alpha' airbag inflators in our portfolio of vehicles.

The replacement airbags do not use Takata inflators. Holden is not using any like-for-like airbag replacements.

Holden will be conducting a progressive series of recalls and Holden will be in touch directly with customers when their airbag is ready to be replaced.

Holden will send letters to individual customers when their airbag is ready to be replaced.
