Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Takata has recalled certain passenger-side frontal air bag inflators used in model year 2005-2008 vehicles that were ever registered in specific states including Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation after long-term exposure to low humidity, temperature changes, and temperature cycling. If an inflator ruptures, metal fragments could strike the driver or other occupants, potentially causing serious injury or death.
According to the recall record, affected consumers should await vehicle manufacturer recall announcements, as Takata is working with manufacturers to determine which vehicles received the affected inflators as original or replacement equipment. The source does not specify what consumers should do in the interim or how to obtain a remedy directly from Takata or vehicle manufacturers.
