Takata airbags under compulsory recall.
Only Alpha-type Takata airbags are subject to compulsory recall. Some makes are not yet covered.
Takata Alpha airbags contain a defect that may cause the inflator to fail in a crash and explode, sending fragments at vehicle occupants. Failure of the airbag inflator can cause serious injury or death.
On the 4th of April 2018 the New Zealand government announced a compulsory recall of vehicles with Takata Alpha airbags.
