Second Airbag Recall?

Post by Hopkins »

I've just had a notice, and subsequent reminder, to book in for an airbag recall I had mine done a couple of years ago. Has there been a second recall?

Is it drivers side instead of passenger side this time? I think some models have required both changing via recalls at some point.

Mine is going in today for a passenger airbag. I could have sworn they did rheum last year.

The garage said they are regassing the airbag and not replacing it altogether.

Ah, that could be it. I shall check, thanks. When I bought the car the garage accidentally submitted that it had done 9xxxx miles instead of 4xxxx miles and that has only just (I'm lead to believe) been corrected. I wondered if that might have caused the recall systems to think that the work had not been done since my mileage now is lower than when they did the work!

I definitely had 2. One I think for driver and then more recently for passenger. I did double take as well when I saw it but it's definitely two separate recalls.
