Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Volkswagen Crafter passenger vehicles equipped with Takata-manufactured airbag inflators are subject to recall due to a hazard with the airbag propellant. The propellant can degrade when exposed to high humidity, high temperatures, and temperature cycling over time. If an airbag deploys in an affected vehicle, the degraded propellant may cause excessive internal pressure that ruptures the inflator body, potentially releasing metal fragments through the airbag cushion and injuring occupants.
The manufacturer is conducting a recall to address this issue. The source does not specify what remedy an affected consumer should pursue or what steps they should take.

The propellant used in the airbag inflator may experience a material alteration over time due to degradation occurring after prolonged exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures and high-temperature cycling. In the event of an airbag being deployed, the excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator body to rupture and metal fragments may pass through the cushion material causing injury to the occupants.
