KUALA LUMPUR: Vehicle owners affected by the recall of faulty Takata airbags will not be able to renew their road tax until a replacement has been made, said Anthony Loke Siew Fook (pic). Loke said that car companies involved in the global mandatory recall of Takata airbags must submit a list of vehicles which haven't replace their airbags to the Road Transport Department (JPJ). I have also directed JPJ not to renew the road tax of these vehicles unless they replaced their airbags. In Malaysia, some 71,315 out of 332,458 affected Honda vehicles have yet to replace their airbags, he said. This brings the total death toll due to defective Takata airbags to seven in Malaysia.
