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 propellant degradation 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 several models (PSPI, PSPI-1.1, PSPI-2, PSPI 6, PSPI-L, and SPI) that were installed as original equipment or replacement equipment in model year 2010 or newer vehicles 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, 2019. Takata is working with vehicle manufacturers to identify which vehicles contain the affected inflators, and vehicle manufacturers will announce recalls for impacted vehicles as this work progresses. Vehicles registered outside the listed states may be covered by separate recalls. The source does not specify what affected consumers should do at this time.
