A major compulsory recall of Takata airbags is finally underway in New Zealand, affecting tens of thousands of cars.

Millions of vehicles around the globe have these airbags installed and 22 people have been killed when they've gone off.

Kris Faafoi is the Consumer Affairs Minister and joined the show to discuss today's announcement.
