Honda Malaysia has released an update over the status of airbag availability with regards to the ongoing Takata airbag inflator recall – stock availability of front passenger airbag inflators is targeted to be increased 55% by the end of the month, a month earlier than the expected timeframe announced previously – and that figure is expected to be increased further to 70% by December.
With that development, the company has urged affected customers to replace their passenger airbag inflators immediately, and has encouraged them to make an appointment at any of the Honda Service Central Hubs or authorised Honda service centres in order for the replacements to be carried out systematically and avoid any setbacks.
So far, Honda Malaysia has managed to replace over 62,300 inflators out of the approximately 125,000 affected as of November 23, translating to a completion ratio of 50%. The company has also announced that it is taking immediate action to replace the additional 147,894 units of passenger airbag inflators in a separate recall announced in June.
Meanwhile, Honda Malaysia has continued to urge affected customers to replace their front driver airbag inflators immediately, as stock availability is at 100%. The company has confirmed that all Honda Service Central Hubs and authorised Honda service centres have sufficient stock to perform the replacement, and that it has so far replaced around 175,000 driver’s side inflators out of the approximately 264,000 affected, resulting in a 66% completion ratio.
Finally, Honda Malaysia has expanded the locations of its Mobile Hubs at shopping centres from 11 to 18 from now until December 25, including Aeon Metro Prima in Kepong, Aeon Shah Alam, Tesco Extra Cheras and Giant Superstore Bandar Puteri in Puchong. The full list of locations, including Honda Family Road Trip road shows and Honda Service Central Hubs, can be found at productrecall.honda.com.my.

Been waiting for front passenger emplacement airbag for more than a month now. Still no news, even their customer service also don’t know.
Try give them a call and the machine will tell you that airbag replacement is mandatory yet their still have no replacement part. Even worst, the replacement also from Takata.
But honda is the best very premium…fanboys say so…you cannot dispute them
But bashers says jepunis overlords cannot be persoaled.
They r perfect one!
If ur din get replaced, its cuz ur not fast enuff.
If u din get contact, its cuz u din try hard enuff to call.
If u din wait ur turn, its cuz u have no enuff patience.
If u din get it replaced, its cuz u din sacrifice enuff of ur precious time to get it replaced.
If u din survive, its cuz of ur fault due to above.
So dun blame our jepunis lords, its u who choose to buy our milo tins. They din point a samurai at u and force to buy the car, right?
I got both driver and passenger’s airbag replaced with no fuss. Thank you Honda Malaysia and good luck to Toyota and Nissan owners who are >1 year late into the recall

But bashers expect P1 to be perfect, otherwise it is worse than jepunis takata quality, & will kena bash.
Campro bising no problem. Trash it here and there. Long journey from day till late night. Turbocharged summore. Lol
Wouldn’t Toyota subsidiary, Perodua also uses the same the supplier as Toyota? It would be a good idea if someone validate this.
If nobody persoal celup jepunis, why u so pandai pandai persoal? U P1 staff ke?
as a Grand Livina L10(2nd hand) owner, i read ETCM Recall Notice from paultan.org, been to changed Takata Inflator, just 30 minutes, done.
Since then, whenever i met any L10 owner(came into my shop) i will pro-actively tell everyone of them about this Takata Recall. Almost ALL L10 never heard of it, this is unacceptable! Edaran Tan Chong should buck up! Where as Honda Malaysia did great job with their City airbag recall. (i wished Carlos-Ghosn will read my msg)
Since, ETCM done bad job announcing this recall, I had even wrote an email to paultan to request for a particular spot(banner) in this blog so reader know and can inform any L10 friends and family owners. (maybe paul has changed his email address)
Please spread this Nissan recall news to everyone…. (it saves life….)
So you are voluntary doing Tan Chong’s responsibilities then, while his grandchildren busy making more money using Grab.
