The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, or ACCC, increased the number of vehicles it will recall in connection with Takata Corp.'s airbag probe, which its U.S. arm settled in February.
The company allegedly concealed the defects in its airbags that reportedly left at least 20 people dead and hundreds more injured globally.
The date of the latest recalls, which started in May and will continue until 2019, will depend on the car model, according to a post updated on May 27. The recalls will add to the more than 90 car models already under the commission's active recalls list.
The ACCC added that vehicle manufacturers will contact affected owners to replace their airbags.
Aside from the Australian government, the South Korean unit of General Motors Co. also has issued a voluntary recall of 712 of its vehicles installed with Takata airbags.
The worldwide recalls began when Mark Lillie and two other unnamed men blew the whistle on Takata and provided information to the U.S. government.
