Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Takata has recalled certain frontal passenger-side air bag inflators that may rupture due to propellant degradation after exposure to high humidity, high temperatures, and temperature cycling. A rupture could result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants, potentially causing serious injury or death. The recall affects model year 2012 vehicles that were 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 is working with vehicle manufacturers to identify which vehicles received the affected inflators as original or replacement equipment, and affected vehicle manufacturers will issue their own recalls. The record does not specify what consumers should do beyond noting that model year 2011 and older vehicles in the specified states may have been covered by recall 16E-042, while vehicles registered outside these states may be covered by recalls 17E-001 or 17E-003. NHTSA will supply additional information as recalls are announced.
