The Stellantis Group in the Middle East continues to recall a recall campaign to replace defective airbags in a number of its affiliated companies’ cars, in light of the continued presence of a large number of cars that have not received new airbags yet.
Defective Takata pillows… free replacement
This recall concerns cars equipped with airbag deployment devices produced by the Japanese company Takata, as it has been found that these devices may be damaged over time, which may lead to dangerous metal fragments flying when the airbag is activated during accidents, which poses a serious threat to the safety of the driver and passengers.
Stellantis says the affected cars have been affected for ten years, which may make some current owners unaware that their cars are equipped with defective airbags that are subject to a recall campaign.
The campaign extends to cover several brands belonging to the Stellantis Group, as follows:
