Mandatory Immobilization of Cars Due to Faulty Takata Airbags
October 2, 2025
Starting tomorrow, thousands of cars will be immobilized due to faulty Takata airbags, as the Ministry of Transport will not extend the deadline of October 3, 2025, for mandatory recalls. Any vehicle that has not complied will have its Certificate of Conformity revoked. Only vehicles with scheduled appointments until the end of October 2025, confirmed by the distributor, are exempt. The delayed execution of recalls by some distributors has prompted this decision. This move aims to prevent serious accidents and fatalities from the explosions of the airbags.
