Holden has expanded its Astra Takata recall, including 2009 three-door, five-door, Wagon, and HSV VXR models sold in Queensland, Northern Territory and Western Australia in the campaign announced last week. As with all Takata-related recalls, a combination of heat and humidity can make the airbag propellant degrade. If a car with a faulty inflator is involved in an accident, the metal inflator housing could rupture under too much pressure, sending metal fragments shooting into the cabin.
