As of 5 Oct there are two on this list Browse all recalls | Product Safety Australia (https://www.productsafety.gov.au/recalls/browse-all-recalls?f)[0]=field_accc_psa_product_category%3A4910

As far as I can tell entries dated 18/4/17 and 10/2/17 apply.

no, those 2 entries are unrelated to the big recall.

The description is something like:

What are the defects?Airbag inflator: If an affected vehicle is involved in an accident and the airbag goes off, the airbag inflator may rupture.



What are the hazards?In the event of an airbag inflator rupture, metal fragments could possibly shoot out, straight through the airbag cushion material towards the vehicle occupants causing serious injury or fatality.
