Perodua will not issue a recall or stop the delivery of its new Axia model

Perodua will not issue a recall or stop the delivery of its new Axia model. 

CEO Zainal Abidin Ahmad assures the 11,800 Axia cars manufactured were safe to drive.  

This comes after Daihatsu Co Ltd revealed the model was one of 4 that had gone through a rigged safety test.

“Perodua engaged Daihatsu to carry out safety testing for the new Perodua Axia, which was witnessed by relevant authorities and agencies. 

“As we receive news of this “procedural irregularity” by Daihatsu, we immediately contacted these bodies,” explains Zainal.

“We were assured that despite the revelation by Daihatsu, the UN-R95 certification given to the Perodua Axia is intact. 

“This means that the Perodua Axia is safe for driving and no recall will be issued nor will Perodua stop delivery of this new model,” insists Zainal.
