Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Takata has recalled certain passenger-side frontal air bag inflators that may explode due to degradation of the propellant material after long-term exposure to low humidity, temperature changes, and temperature cycling. If an inflator explodes, it can send sharp metal fragments toward the driver or other occupants, potentially causing serious injury or death. The affected inflators include models PSPI, PSPI-1.1, PSPI-2, PSPI 6, PSPI-L, and SPI that were installed as original equipment or as replacement equipment in vehicles.
This recall applies to model year 2009 vehicles that were ever registered in 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 recall began on January 2, 2018. According to the record, Takata will work with vehicle manufacturers to identify which vehicles contain the affected inflators, and vehicle manufacturers will announce recalls for their respective vehicles. The source does not specify what an affected consumer should do.
