Ncap fail for mg3 hybrid

[tsedge]

It would appear not.

Euro NCAP said it had never witnessed a failure of this kind in its 28 years of crash testing.

"MG has promised to tweak the airbag in October, Euro NCAP said. However, the seat and airbag changes won't be applied to 3s that have already been delivered to customers since the model's launch last year"

But it also says that MG are still investigating. I would expect a retrofit recall for existing 3s in due course. It is far easier and quicker to make a factory change than to set up a recall programme - that takes time.

(Ah - this is an old thread. Oops. Glad to see things are being sorted out.)
