Takata airbag recall adds 1.1m cars to Australian list

More than a million vehicles with potentially deadly Takata airbags have been added to a recall list by the consumer watchdog. The defective airbags can shatter shards of metal upon activation if its propelling mechanism is exposed to high levels of moisture. They have caused about 180 injuries and 18 deaths worldwide and been linked to at least one fatality in Australia.
