To find helpful information and videos about the operations of your vehicle including our infotainment systems, please select your vehicle details.
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You can also have the components repaired or replaced, if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
All warranty work performed under your Voluntary Warranty (including parts and labour) will be carried out free of charge. However, servicing in accordance with your Maintenance Schedule is not included.
Please refer to the Takata Airbag Recall Initiation Schedule (published on holden.com) for dates for each impacted Holden, Saab or Opel vehicle.
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:
Please ensure we have your contact details so that we can contact you if we need to. You can update your contact details at www.holden.com.au/forms/change-of-address-or-ownership.
We will contact you directly to organise a replacement airbag to be fitted to your vehicle once parts become available.
Affected Takata airbags (new or used) cannot be sold under any circumstances. Holden is offering a rebate for the return of all new or used affected Takata airbags. Please call Holden Customer Care on 1800 632 826 and we will arrange the rebate and discuss options to collect the airbag from you at no cost. If you are unsure whether the spare part is affected by this recall you may take a photo of the serial number labels and email it to holdencustomercare@gm.com. Once the photo has been assessed a member of our team will contact you.
Holden, as part of General Motors, is the importer of Saab and Opel vehicles. Holden dealerships are authorised to carry out the rework on Saab and Opel vehicles for this recall campaign.
If your vehicle has had an airbag replacement following a collision or other incident, any replacement airbag installed in the Vehicle may be faulty and require replacement. Accordingly, please check your VIN on the VIN Lookup tool* to determine if your Vehicle requires an airbag replacement under an Active or Future recall**.
No GM Holden vehicles contain alpha airbag inflators. However, certain Model Year 2010 Cruze vehicles manufactured between February 2009 and September 2009 may contain Driver Airbag inflators which are considered critical, as set out in guidance issued by the ACCC in August 2019.
If you own one of these vehicles, you should stop driving your vehicle immediately! It is critical that you immediately contact Holden Customer Care on 1800 632 826 to arrange to have the airbag replaced. There will be no charge for the repair. A vehicle tow service or mobile repair technician can be arranged.

The replacement airbags do not use Takata inflators. Holden is not using any like-for-like airbag replacements.
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.
In Holden, Saab and Opel vehicles, only the driver’s side airbag inflators are manufactured by Takata and use phase-stabilised ammonium nitrate propellant without a desiccant.
The Australian Government has issued a compulsory recall for all vehicles with frontal Takata airbag inflators that use phase-stabilised ammonium nitrate propellant without a desiccant.
Holden, Saab and Opel vehicles contain a range of airbags supplied by several different suppliers. Design specifications mean the Takata airbags affected by the compulsory recall were used for driver side airbags only. Other suppliers were used for other airbags inside Holden, Saab and Opel vehicles.
In accordance with the requirements of the Recall Notice GM Holden has prioritized the replacement of Affected Takata Airbag Inflators by reference to:
(1) the geographical location of vehicles, with first priority given to vehicles currently registered in areas of high heat; and humidity.
(2) the age of Vehicles, with first priority given to older Vehicles, and particularly those that are older than 6 years.
Holden has now commenced repairs for all affected Holden, Opel and Saab vehicles. Letters, emails and SMS have been sent to registered owners of impacted vehicles. If you have received a recall letter, email or SMS from Holden, DO NOT ignore it. Holden encourages you to take the action described in the letter, email or SMS as soon as possible.

A Holden Vehicle which is an Eligible Vehicle can participate in the Program at any time from the first kilometre travelled by the Eligible Vehicle, provided that at the time it participates in the Program, it is registered with an Australian State or Territory road transport authority on or before the Program end date.
An "Eligible Vehicle" is:
a. a Holden Vehicle, registered on or after 1 January 2018 and before the Program end date, or
b. an Excluded Vehicles.
A vehicle is an "Excluded Vehicle" if it:
a. is not registered with an Australian State or Territory road transport authority at the relevant time it proposes to participate in the Program;
b. a vehicle which was first registered as a government vehicle*;
c. a vehicle which was first registered as a rental vehicle.
*Government and rental vehicle Customers must contact their Holden Dealer to obtain their relevant service quote for the first 7 Scheduled Services. For Customers who have purchased their vehicle second hand, we recommend that you contact your local Holden Dealer to determine whether the vehicle was first registered as a Government or Rental vehicle.
The Service Price for each model of Eligible Vehicle is calculated in accordance with the specific service schedule for that vehicle model (which may vary from model to model) and the model year. Furthermore, the Service Price for each model may vary from service interval to service interval.
Individual parts and vehicle systems are affected differently, depending on the distance travelled, time in use and driving conditions. For some Scheduled Services, additional parts may need to be inspected and/or replaced and a longer period of time may be spent by Holden's factory-trained technicians completing the relevant Scheduled Service.
The Price for each Scheduled Service will be provided to the Customer when the Customer makes a request for a quote for a Scheduled Service for an Eligible Vehicle (Quote Request).
The Quote Request is to be made online through Holden's website at www.holden.com.au.
The returned quote for the requested Scheduled Service will detail the Price for the Scheduled Service. The quote also lists which Scheduled Service items are performed by the Dealer during the service. The quote is valid for 30 days from the original date of request.
Government and rental vehicle Customers must contact their Holden Dealer to obtain a capped price service quote.
In addition, Holden may publish a list of prices for Scheduled Services at www.holden.com.au or elsewhere from time to time. Holden may change the published or Program prices from time to time and without notice. For the avoidance of doubt, within the first 7 subsidised service period, any such price changes will not apply retrospectively to Eligible Vehicles purchased prior to the price change being implemented. Price changes will only apply to future vehicles purchased on or after the date the price change comes into effect.
For all Eligible Vehicles, the Scheduled Services covered under the Program are all service items listed in the "standard service schedule for normal operating conditions" for each Eligible Vehicle, as specified in the Service and Warranty Booklet for that Eligible Vehicle, including parts, labour, fluids and any applicable workshop charges.
An additional Service covered under the Program is a basic maintenance service only (Essential Services):
a. engine oil replacement;
b. oil filter replacement;
c. vehicle health check; and
d. tyre rotation (if required).
An Essential Service differs from the full service schedule. Holden Dealers will not stamp the scheduled service completion coupon in the Service Warranty booklet when only an Essential Service has been performed. They will however, record the details of the service in the "additional service requirements or coupon" section of the booklet. An Essential Service is intended to be used in the event of vehicle being 'in between' scheduled service intervals, in preparation of a trip etc. For an older model Holden vehicle, an Essential Service is a regular basic maintenance service. A Vehicle Health Check may reveal additional maintenance or other service related items are required to ensure the vehicle is operating as designed, efficiently or safely. Any additional service items required will be discussed with the Customer prior to any additional work being performed. These additional items will be at the Customers expense.
Holden Dealers will use genuine Holden parts for all relevant Scheduled Services, except where genuine Holden parts are no longer available.
Additional service or maintenance items which are not Scheduled Services are not covered under the Program.
These excluded items, include (but are not limited to):
a. items which require additional servicing depending on the operating conditions as detailed in the Service and Warranty Booklet for that vehicle;
b. normal wear and tear items requiring periodic maintenance (e.g. fuses, brake pads, wiper blades, batteries, tyres, wheel alignment adjustments);
c. air conditioner pollen filter;
d. any servicing required as a result of the fitment of non-genuine Holden parts or accessories;
e. additional fluids and additives not specified in the standard service schedules for normal operating conditions set out in the Service and Warranty Booklet for that Eligible Vehicle;
f. accident damage to any chassis, body or driveline components;
g. adjustments not specified in the standard service schedules for normal operating conditions set out in the Service and Warranty Booklet for that Eligible vehicle; and
h. additional maintenance and repairs recommended by the Customer's Holden Dealer to suit individual driving characteristics.
If any additional service or maintenance work is required that is not covered by the Program, the authorised Holden Dealer will discuss any additional costs with the Customer prior to performing any such additional work.
To receive the benefit of the Service Price, Customers must have the Scheduled Service performed at an authorised Holden Dealer.
To receive the benefit of the Price under the Program for any Scheduled Service, Customers must ensure that that Scheduled Service is performed by the Service Due Date or before the odometer of the Eligible Vehicle passes the Service Kilometre Limit, whichever occurs earlier (Nominated Period).
It is the Customer's responsibility to ensure that the Scheduled Service is performed within the Nominated Period.
If the Customer has missed a Scheduled Service in a particular Nominated Period, the Price will no longer be available for the Scheduled Service in that Nominated Period. However, the Price for the next Scheduled Service in the next Nominated Period will become available.
It is important to note that if a Customer misses a Scheduled Service, additional work may be identified at the next Scheduled Service in the next Nominated Period which is not included in the Price of that next Scheduled Service.
