So did anyone else get a message from VW about their steering wheel having the Takata airbag?
I've just received an SMS for my free replacement.

No, but the airbag in our Subaru was done 6 months ago. Then we received another letter from Subaru saying that the airbag they replaced it with still has the problem, but is new so will last a few years - they need to replace it again when the proper replacement are manufactured...

Hmm ok. My car is third hand so no SMS for me. I'll search the VIN. Eddy bought his new I think - maybe he'll get it too.Comment

we're 3rd owners of the Subaru - I assume they found us through Vicroads - there was a recall on the windscreen wipers or something shortly after we bought itComment

My Polo GTi is a August 2008 build. No I have no correspondence from VW about the Takarta Air bag issue? Should I?Originally posted by kaanage View Post
Like Simon K, I also am third owner have a My12 Subaru Forester XTP that is subject to the Takarta Air bag recall but there is no way I want the whole dash out to replace the Takarta Air bag and then have it done again.

Steering wheel. I haven't heard of a recall for any other type of airbag.Last edited by kaanage; 19-08-2018, 09:51 PM.Resident grumpy old fart
