TAKATA PSDI-5 INFLATOR
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Takata is recalling certain driver-side frontal air bag inflators that may rupture during a crash, potentially sending metal fragments into vehicle occupants and causing serious injury or death. The affected PSDI-5 inflators were manufactured from January 2003 through production affecting vehicles up to model year 2014 and were installed in certain Audi, BMW, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Saab, Toyota, and Volkswagen vehicles as original equipment or replacement parts. The inflators may rupture due to exposure to high humidity conditions or manufacturing variability.
Takata is working with vehicle manufacturers to identify which vehicles contain the affected inflators, and multiple recalls are expected to be announced by individual manufacturers as this work progresses. Toyota has already launched a separate recall campaign for their affected vehicles under recall number 15V-284. According to the record, affected consumers should watch for recall notifications from their vehicle manufacturer, as NHTSA will provide this information as soon as it becomes available.
