Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Takata has determined that certain passenger-side frontal air bag inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation caused by long-term exposure to high humidity, high temperatures, and temperature cycling. If an inflator ruptures, metal fragments could strike the driver or other occupants, causing serious injury or death. The affected inflators were manufactured in several models (PSPI, PSPI-1.1, PSPI-2, PSPI-6, PSPI-L, and SPI) and were installed as original equipment or as replacement parts in various vehicles.
The recall applies to vehicles ever registered in Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan), and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Takata notified vehicle manufacturers on May 16, 2016, and multiple vehicle recalls are expected to be announced by individual manufacturers as they determine which vehicles contain the affected inflators. The source does not specify what consumers should do at this time, stating instead that NHTSA will supply information as it becomes available.
