Which cars are included in the Takata airbag recalls? It seems like a straightforward question, but last week National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's announcement makes it harder than ever to answer. Related: NHTSA's Latest Takata Recall Is the Largest Ever More than 33 million driver- and passenger-side airbags have been recalled, but not 33.8 million cars, given that millions of cars were recalled for having bad airbags on both sides. Confused? It's just the tip of the iceberg. We detailed in October 2014 that at least 7.8 million cars from 10 automakers faced Takata recalls, but the list continues to grow. The recall now affects 11 major automakers, and NHTSA wants to push regional recalls to become national. We reached out to automakers to make sense of it all, and we'll answer some more questions later on. We'll update this page as we receive more information. BMW Which cars are under recall? BMW declined to provide a current list to Cars.com, but the automaker confirmed on April 10 that a range of 3 Series models are under national recall, including 2000-2005 sedans built from June 1999 to August 2005, 2000-2006 coupes built from June 1999 to August 2006, 2000-2006 convertibles built from December 1999 to August 2006, 2000-2005 wagons built from January 2000 to August 2005, 2001-2006 M3 coupes built from February 2001 to May 2006 and 2001-2006 M3 convertibles built from March 2001 to August 2006. As for now, last week's statement appears to change little for BMW. The automaker told Cars.com that it's "working with NHTSA and Takata to determine the effect upon our vehicles and any further actions, if any, BMW should take." Which airbags in those cars are under recall? All Takata recalls apply to the passenger-side airbag, but BMW also recalled a subset of cars, particularly those built after January 2004, for their driver-side airbags, a spokesman told us in April. About 80 percent of recall notices will be for a passenger-side airbag, but many owners will get notices for both. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Which cars are under recall? FCA confirmed the current list includes "certain" 2004-2007 Dodge Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks and 3500 chassis cabs; 2004-2007 Dodge Durango and 2007 Chrysler Aspen SUVs; 2005-2007 Chrysler 300 and 2006-2007 Dodge Charger sedans; 2005-2007 Dodge Magnum wagons; and 2004-2007 Dodge Dakota pickups. Last week's announcement doesn't change anything yet, but "we are reviewing the new information in accordance with our protocols for considering recalls," an FCA spokesman told Cars.com. Which airbags in those cars are under recall? Both driver- and passenger-side airbags, the spokesman said. Ford Which cars are under recall? Ford says 2005-2008 Mustangs built from Aug. 18, 2004, through June 25, 2007, are involved. If you own a Ranger pickup or GT exotic, things get more complicated. All 2005-2006 GTs built from Feb. 11, 2005, to Jan. 30, 2006, are under a national recall for the driver-side airbag and a regional recall for the passenger-side airbag in areas of high absolute humidity. Meanwhile, Rangers built between Aug. 12, 2003, and March 1, 2004, at Ford's Edison Assembly Plant or May 21, 2003, to May 4, 2005, at Ford's Twin Cities Assembly Plant are under recall for the driver's-side airbag in Florida and various U.S. islands with high humidity. However, Rangers built over the same time span are under a passenger-side airbag recall in an expanded region of humidity that adds certain parts of the Gulf Coast. "It's very confusing," Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker conceded. "If you're in one area you might get one of [the recall notices] but not both of them." Ford is "still gathering additional information" on last week's NHTSA announcement, Felker said. The Rangers and certain GTs remain under regional campaigns only, which appears counter to NHTSA's stated goal. Felker wouldn't say definitively if Ford would expand the recall zone, only saying the automaker "will cooperate with NHTSA." The build dates don't cover every car in those model years: "There may well be [2005-2008 Mustangs, 2005-2006 GTs and 2004-2005 Rangers] that are not in those build dates," Felker said. You can typically find the build month for a car on a sticker in the driver's doorjamb, but they rarely show which assembly plant it came from. The best way to know for sure is to put your vehicle identification number, or VIN, into recall search tools from NHTSA and Ford. Which airbags in those cars are under recall? The Mustang is under a driver-side airbag recall only, but the GT and Ranger have recalls, some of them geographically restricted, for both the driver and passenger airbags. GM Which cars are under recall? GM has recalled 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe and 2005 Saab 9-2X hatchbacks, both from defunct brands but which are closely related to other cars (the Toyota Matrix and the Subaru Impreza, respectively). GM spokesman Alan Adler said GM dealers are servicing recall repairs for both models. As of now, both recalls are still confined to high-humidity areas, according to NHTSA. "We expect 2006 and 2007 Vibes to be added by Toyota [because the Vibe is based on the Matrix] but we do not have specific VINs yet," Adler said. "We do not have any specifics to share on other GM models." Which airbags in those cars are under recall? Passenger-side airbags for both cars, Adler said. Honda Which cars are under recall? Honda, which has a huge chunk of the Takata recalls, says 2001-2007 Accord sedans, 2001-2005 Civic sedans, 2002-2006 CR-V compact SUVs, 2003-2011 Element SUVs, 2002-2004 Odyssey minivans, 2003-2008 Pilot SUVs and 2006 Ridgeline pickup trucks are under recall. The automaker's Acura division has 2003-2006 MDX SUVs, 2002-2003 TL sports sedans, 2003 CL coupes and 2005 RL sedans under recall. "We have not yet determined how [NHTSA's] announcement may or may not affect this list," spokesman Chris Martin told us. And not every car in those model years may be included. "This is a simplified list," Martin cautioned. "This is really a VIN-specific issue and may not always include all vehicles in a particular model year." Which airbags are in the recall? That's unclear. Some cars require only one inflator, Martin said, while others require both. He added that owners should check specific VINs in Honda's online search tool at recalls.honda.com or recalls.acura.com. Mazda Which cars are under recall? Mazda's current Takata recalls affect 2004-2008 Mazda6s and RX-8 sports cars. Both cars are already under a national recall. Which airbags are in the recall? Only driver-side airbags, Mazda said. Mitsubishi Which cars are under recall? We originally reported that Mitsubishi was recalling 2004-2005 Lancer compact cars and 2006-2007 Raider pickup trucks. Mitsubishi spokesman Alex Fedorak confirmed the latest recall encompasses more Lancers, but "there is no change to our Raider recall from what was announced before." Previously, Mitsubishi "had a regional campaign going" on the Lancer, Fedorak said. "It's going to go to a national campaign now, and it won't be driven by production date. It is all '04 and '05 Lancers." The recall could expand to other model years, so stay tuned. Which airbags are in the recall? Mitsubishi is recalling both the driver and front passenger airbags on the Lancer, Fedorak said. For the Raider, it's just the driver-side airbag. Nissan Which cars are under recall? Nissan spokesman Steve Yaeger said Nissan has recalled all vehicles with defective Takata inflators: 2001-2003 Maxima sedans, 2001-2004 Pathfinder SUVs and 2002-2006 Sentra compact sedans, as well as 2001-2003 Infiniti I sedans, 2006 Infiniti M35/45 sedans, 2002-2003 QX4 SUVs and 2003 FX SUVs. "We do not expect to add any vehicles as a result of [last] Tuesday's announcement," Yaeger said. But "NHTSA has not made the list public, so we have to await their findings to be 100 percent certain." Many cars under the national recall are also under regional campaigns, but 2004 Infiniti I's, 2006 M's and 2004-2005 FXs appear to still be under regional campaigns only. "There is significant overlap between national recalls and regional (high humidity) populations," Yaeger wrote in an email. The regional campaigns included "just over 100,000 vehicles" that weren't in the national campaign. Given that NHTSA says that it intends to turn all regional campaigns into national ones, it's unclear what Nissan will do. We asked the automaker whether it will expand those campaigns, but Yaeger didn't respond. Which airbags are in the recall? Only passenger-side airbag inflators are involved, Yaeger said. Subaru Which cars are under recall? Takata recalls affected all 2004 and 2005 Subaru Imprezas, Subaru spokesman Michael McHale told us. As we reported in 2014, Subaru's Takata campaigns also encompass 2003-2005 Legacys, Outbacks and Bajas. It's still unclear whether those recalls are regional or national; McHale didn't specify. Which airbags are under recall? Passenger-side airbags on all cars, McHale said. Toyota Which cars are under recall? As of May 21, Toyota had posted on its website that 2003-2004 Corolla compact sedans and Corolla Matrix hatchbacks, 2004-2005 RAV4 SUVs, 2003-2004 Tundra pickup trucks, 2002-2003 Sequoia SUVs and 2002-2004 Lexus SCs are under national recalls. In addition, the 2005-2007 Corollas and Corolla Matrixes, 2005-2006 Tundras, 2004-2007 Sequoias and 2005-2007 Lexus SCs are under recall in regions of high humidity. Which airbags are under recall? The 2004-2005 RAV4 is under a driver-side recall. All others are under a passenger-side recall. Toyota still advises owners with unrepaired recalls in the latter group to keep passengers out of the front passenger seat. More Questions How do I know if my car is under recall? If you see your car on the list above, it could be under recall, but it won't always be. At least three major automakers under Takata recall (FCA, Ford and Honda) said not every car in a listed model year could actually be under recall. That said, last Tuesday's announcement suggests more cars in a given year should have recalls. That's because NHTSA is pushing for nationwide recalls instead of regional ones, and some cars, like the Mitsubishi Lancer, have expanded their recall status to entire model years instead of a range of manufacture dates. You can check your VIN on NHTSA's recall look-up site, safercar.gov/vinlookup, but it could take some time before the expanded Takata recalls are reflected there. "It generally takes anywhere from a few days to several weeks for automakers to gather individual VINs associated with a recall," NHTSA's website said as of May 20. "It is important that you check back periodically as a recall on your vehicle may not show up immediately." I heard Mercedes-Benz is involved, too. Is that true? Not for Mercedes cars. The automaker has a few hundred roadsters facing an unrelated airbag recall, but parent company Daimler has some heavy-duty trucks involved in the Takata recalls. The automaker is looking at "a very small population of potentially affected vehicles," a company spokesman told FleetOwner, a publication for the fleet industry. Will repairs take longer if you live in a non-humid region? Most likely. "All the recalls are national recalls," NHTSA spokesman Gordon Trowbridge said. But "in some cases, they [automakers] will begin by addressing high-humidity areas and more [repairs] to additional geographic zones at our direction." What about people who already got their cars repaired? Some owners might need to have their cars serviced again, Trowbridge said. Takata's consent order from NHTSA confirms at least six separate Takata airbag inflators requiring replacement, in some cases for "inflators previously installed as remedy parts." Other owners won't. Mitsubishi's Fedorak said owners who have already received repairs are "good ... [and] they don't have to be recalled again." Do 33.8 million Takata recalls equal 33.8 million cars? No. NHTSA calculated the total from 17.6 million driver-side inflators and 16.2 million passenger-side inflators. A number of cars have been recalled for both. Trowbridge conceded that NHTSA "will need the automaker filings to know for sure" how many cars it adds up to. I have one of these cars. Should I stop driving it? Not according to NHTSA. Administrator Mark Rosekind told The New York Times that owners still "need to drive their cars," but they should check regularly with dealers to ensure defective airbags are fixed "as soon as possible." Rosekind cautioned that all of the sought-after repairs could take years to complete. The danger of a rupture takes "several years of exposure to persistent conditions of high absolute humidity," Takata said in a consent order filed by NHTSA. But that could also vary depending on vehicle design and manufacturing, Takata said.
