The Federal Government has announced the compulsory recall of vehicles fitted with defective Takata airbags.

That will affect 2.7 million Australian cars.

The consumer body Choice calls these airbags "ticking time bombs": they have been linked to 20 deaths around the world.

The ACCC recommends you do not drive your vehicle if you have the particularly dangerous Alpha airbag, contact the manufacturer and they will come to you.

Below is the current list of almost 90 affected cars and motorcycles across 14 brands.

The full list of makes and models for future recalls is available on the ACCC website.
