Proton Perdana recalled for airbag inflator replacement

KUALA LUMPUR: Following the recall announced by the Japanese automaker Honda, Perodua has recalled its sedan Perdana. Talking about the issue, it is similar as seen on the Accord. Just like Honda recalled the Accord for the passenger airbag inflator, Proton will be replacing the same in the Perdana. As the Proton Perdana is based on the Honda Accord, the Malaysian manufacturer is taking a prudent step of replacing the airbag inflator to avoid any mishap in the future. Proton will be sending a notice to all the affected customers notifying them about the recall. As a matter of fact, the replacement of the airbag inflator is a global initiative taken by different manufacturers who have used airbags made by Takata.

Proton Perdana Front Angular

National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued a Defect Information Report (DIR) which has led to the global replacement of non-desiccated passenger inflators in vehicles including Honda Accord and Proton Perdana. As all the other models by Proton use airbags from a different manufacturer only the Perdana sedan has been affected. A total of 6,432 units would have the part replaced. The recall is surely going to give the affected customer a headache, however, it is a positive initiative which should rule out any future mishappening.

Proton Perdana Airbags

The current generation Proton Perdana has been locking horns with the likes of Toyota Camry and Honda Civic since 2013. Different variants of the sedan are powered by a 2.0-litre 160 PS/189 Nm and a 2.4-litre 180 PS/222 Nm engines. It gets safety features like four airbags (dual front and dual side), ABS with EBD, and ESC among others. For any kind of assistance or information, Proton customers can call on Proton’s Customer Care Hotline at 1-800-888-398 or send an email to customercare@proton.com.
