Reliability
FIRST RECALL
V6 VE Commodores and WM Statesmans have a risk that one of the fuel lines in the engine compartment may have a rub condition with a fuel vapour hose clip. [1]
SECOND RECALL
Holden recalled nearly 13,000 Commodores and Statesmans with a fault of the rear seatbelt buckles.[2]
THIRD RECALL
More than 86,000 Commodores and Statemans have a fuel tank design fault which could cause a fire. [3]
Safety
At first, the VE Commodore scored only 4 stars (27.45 out of 37) in 2006. The car came with dual airbags and stability control as standard whereas side and curtain airbags were a $2000 option and because the car tested wasn't equipped with side airbags, the default score was only 4 stars.
ANCAP result for 2006 Holden Commodore VE Omega
In 2008, side thorax and curtain airbags were made standard and enabled the Commodore to earn a maximum of 5 stars (33.45 points out of 37). It now joins its rival, the Ford Falcon as the two locally built cars to earn 5 stars by ANCAP.
