JAC Motors Australia is recalling its T9 dual-cab 4×4 ute as the curtain airbags may not function correctly in an accident.
“Due to a manufacturing defect, the retaining bolts on the left and right-side curtain airbags may not have been fastened with sufficient torque,” the company said in its recall notice.
