According to the Associated Press, a lawyer from Sydney announced a class-action lawsuit against Toyota, Honda, and Mazda, demanding refunds for cars equipped with defective Takata airbags. The company's airbag inflators, which have hidden dangers, have already caused 18 deaths worldwide.

Attorney Damian Scattini (Damian Scattini) said on Tuesday that the Australian Federal Court lawsuit is based on Australian consumer law requesting a refund. The law stipulates that if there is a safety hazard due to a defective product and cannot be resolved within a reasonable time, the consumer has the right to request a refund.

Toyota's Australian subsidiary said in a statement that the company's countermeasures have been determined, and repairing the affected vehicles is still a top priority. On Tuesday, Honda and Mazda did not immediately respond to the incident.

At the beginning of this month, an unidentified 58-year-old man in Australia died due to the explosion of an airbag gas generator. This is probably the 18th death incident in the world due to this cause. (Compiled by Debby)
