Airbag Recall – Extended Requirements

NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) has stated that from 1 November 2018, any vehicle border inspected with an outstanding airbag recall is to be flagged as 'damaged'.
If the vehicle is shipped prior to the recall being completed, the recall will need to be undertaken in New Zealand before the vehicle can be certified for registration and an MR2A issued. This process is likely to incur delays and costs as the manufacturers' agents are entitled to prioritise registered vehicles and potentially charge you for the work.
ATL are pleased to confirm that through our Manufacturer Recall Status Check we will be advising customers of affected vehicles prior to shipping and will be working with suppliers in Japan to implement this process. As per previous correspondence, all checks and procedures implemented by ATL are to be considered as 'additional' to checks and actions taken prior
to shipping being ordered and vehicles being delivered to ATL.
