4.              Suppliers must prioritise replacement of Affected Takata Airbag Inflators by reference to the following Priority Factors:
(a)           the geographical location of the Vehicle in Australia, with first priority given to Vehicles currently registered in areas of high heat and humidity (or which are known to the Supplier to have been registered in such an area);
(b)           the age of the Vehicle (or in the case of a Vehicle where an Affected Takata Airbag Inflator has been used as a replacement, the date of replacement), with first priority given to older Vehicles, and particularly those that are older than 6 years, as the best evidence indicates that risk of harm manifests after a Vehicle reaches 6 years post manufacture and increases with age thereafter; and
(c)           the location of the Affected Takata Airbag Inflator in the Vehicle, with first priority given to driver side inflators.

Best endeavours to limit workshop visits by Consumers
5.              Where a Vehicle has an Affected Takata Airbag Inflator on both the driver and passenger side, the Supplier must use its best endeavours to replace both at the same time.

Application to ACCC to vary the Recall Initiation Schedule and Quarterly Completion Schedule
6.              A Supplier may apply to the ACCC to vary the Recall Initiation Schedule for certain categories of Vehicles containing Affected Takata Inflators that are not Alpha Inflators in accordance with section 13 of the Recall Notice. Any such application must:
(a)           address replacement of all Affected Takata Airbag Inflators in the Supplier's Vehicles by 31 December 2020 or another date approved by the ACCC;
(b)           detail how replacement is proposed to be prioritised based on at least the Priority Factors set out in clause 4 of this Schedule, but may seek to include other factors particular to the Supplier's Vehicles;
(c)           identify each category of Vehicle (by make, model and any other relevant factor) that requires a longer period within which to initiate recall action and the date by which recall action will be initiated ; and
(d)           outline in detail the reasons why the additional time is required, and the measures the Supplier is taking to minimise any additional time needed.
7.              A Supplier may apply to the ACCC for an alternative quarterly completion schedule in accordance with section 13 of the Recall Notice.  Any such application must:
(a)           address replacement of all Affected Takata Airbag Inflators in the Supplier's Vehicles by 31 December 2020 or another date approved by the ACCC;
(b)           show proposed alternative quarterly completion rates for replacement for each calendar quarter between 1 July 2018 and 31 December 2020, and this may also be broken down by reference to category of Vehicle (by make, model and any
