Takata airbag crisis: Mercedes-Benz failed to complete compulsory recall

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has announced today that Mercedes-Benz Australia knowingly failed to complete a compulsory recall of cars fitted with faulty Takata airbags in the required timeframe. The compulsory Takata airbag recall, which included 3 million cars in Australia, commenced in mid-2018 and has since seen recall completion rates of up to 99.84 per cent by some vehicle producers.
