6  Replacement, quarantine and destruction of Affected Takata Airbag Inflators

         (1)           A Supplier must not, under any circumstances, use an Alpha Inflator as a replacement inflator.
         (2)           A Supplier must use its best endeavours to replace an Affected Takata Airbag Inflator with an inflator that is not an Affected Takata Airbag Inflator. From 31 December 2019, an Affected Takata Airbag Inflator must not be used as a replacement under any circumstances.
         (3)           If, prior to 31 December 2019, a Supplier considers that it is necessary to use a new Affected Takata Airbag Inflator as a replacement inflator in a Vehicle pursuant to subsection 5(2), then the Supplier must:
(a)           notify the Consumer (orally and in writing at the time of replacement) in clear and simple language in accordance with the requirements of Schedule 2 and approved as part of a Communication and Engagement Plan that:
                    1. an Affected Takata Airbag Inflator has been used as a replacement and will itself need to be replaced;
ii.             to avoid risk of future injury or death, the Affected Takata Airbag Inflator must be replaced as soon as possible after the Supplier initiates active recall of the inflator, specifying the applicable date or, if the Recall Initiation Schedule is not yet available, referring the Consumer to the Supplier's website and noting that the Recall Initiation Schedule will be published there; and
iii.           the Supplier will make direct contact with the Consumer to arrange for replacement when recall action is initiated; and
(b)           record (at least) the following information in the service record of the Vehicle:
                    1. that the Vehicle is installed with a faulty Takata airbag inflator;
ii.             the location of the inflator (that is, driver side, passenger side, or both); and
iii.           that, to avoid future risk of injury or death due to misdeployment, the Affected Takata Airbag Inflator must be replaced as soon as possible after recall action is initiated for the Inflator, and either specify the applicable date from the Recall Initiation Schedule (once available), or  note that the Recall Initiation Schedule will be published on the Supplier's website; and
(c)           cause a notice to be affixed on the Vehicle's front windscreen and a Durable Label to be affixed in the Vehicle's engine bay containing (at least) the following statement:
                   "This vehicle is fitted with a faulty Takata airbag inflator in the [specify airbag, e.g. driver side, passenger side or both].
