Proton is once again urging owners of the Perdana sedan to bring their vehicles to authorised service centres to replace potentially faulty Takata airbags, if they haven’t done so already. To date, 568 units of the Perdana have yet to have their airbags replaced, according to the national carmaker.
The affected model is the second-generation Perdana (including the pre-facelift version) that is based on the eighth-generation Honda Accord, which is also involved in the global Takata service fix. No other Proton models are affected by this recall as a different vendor supplies the airbags used.
Proton first issued an airbag recall for the Perdana in January 2019, which involved 6,432 units built between 2012 and 2018. In August last year, the company reminded customers of the recall again and stated that service outlets have replaced the airbags in 5,625 units, or an 87.5% completion rate.
If you happen to own the aforementioned Perdana model, please get in touch with your nearest authorised Proton service centre to check if your vehicle is affected. The airbag replacement service will be done free of charge.

Oredi told them so many times before… that time if DRB just listened and not sombong. Volkswagen wont have such issues ..Passat is a damn solid and reliable car..VW perfect for Perdana..you wun go wrong with Jerman tech.
Ini semua salah Jepunis tech. Never ever trust them
We own a passat here. Its damn expensive after the 4th year, several sensor error (ABS, engine sensor), fuel relay problem. At 5th year, comes multiple light warning, cost us almost RM9k to fix it all. Yes, everything goes wrong with this GermenzTek.
Now, want to sell, but rv really damn low.
Syukur proton still reminds customers, meanwhile Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Mazda, et al, sweep unfinished Takata airbag replacement under their carpets with half hearted attempts to make replacement.
Im still waiting airbag replacement for my 2008 Altis!
This means all perdana Mk. II (accord rebadged) and Mk.III (accord reskin) need new airbag since Mk.I Perdana ie Galant Eterna did not have airbag at all
Yes
Maybe just maybe the remaining 568 units either at the used cars or junk yards. That’s why no respond!
