Tasmania, Queensland and Northern Territory have joined the push to stop registering Takata- airbag affected vehicles that haven’t been fixed.
South Australia announced a ban on the registrations last week.
The more dangerous alpha airbags have been a particular target.
The Tasmanian Government told NewsCorp it is currently “acting to suspend the registrations of affected vehicles”.
“All affected owners of vehicles fitted with alpha type (Takata) airbags were sent warning of imminent suspension letters by registered post in the first week of August or were directly contacted by the office of the registrar of motor vehicles by phone. For those who did not act to get the faulty alpha airbag replaced Suspension Notices will be issued shortly.”
The Queensland Transport authority says those who fail to comply with the defect notice may face cancellation of registration for the vehicle, while The Northern Territory is investigating similar options.
Western Australia, Victoria and New South Wales are also considering what measures to take.
