I know a lot of these are used as motorhomes - I only just received the notice from ACCC this afternoon.
Anyway John a few keyboard warriors are pretty mild in my scheme of things - someone doesn't agree that's tough, they're allowed to be wrong.

My wifes Lancer had the air bag that was replaced with the same one/brand  about 12 months ago by another one  a couple of weeks ago - hopefully its not an ongoing yearly saga no

We haven't gotten our notice yet but we were told the last time we had it serviced it will come. We also have had the double recall on our 2004 Lancer and a recall on our other, not so old, Lancer for a different issue. Cheers.

Finally got the recall notice on the airbag for our motorhome last week, but we need not worry as we had it serviced at our local Merc dealer a couple weeks prior and it was replaced then. I guess all the paperwork hasn't seeped through to whoever needs to know these things.
