I'm not sure about the accuracy of the article quoted. The article I read only mentioned they were banning registration renewal on affected cars, not cancelling current registrations.

This issue has been in the media for a very long time, so there has been plenty of time for anyone and everyone to check the status of their cars airbag.

The problem is though, that many manufacturers have supply issues. I've read a few stories where owners have done the right thing and spoken to their manufacturer/dealer about their car, and have been told that the earliest they can get replacement parts is next year. They do have a letter from the dealership explaining this, so perhaps this will be enough to allow them to still be able to register their cars.

Apart from supply issues, I think the idea is sound.
