I Saw this also. It said in the article the airbags were typically manfactured between 2003-2007. So in theory I should be ok

I don't think I'd be so sure there lucas..with all the hiding and not willing to admit fault,also some as late as 2009..think this list will be added to over time.....

Looks like cars manufactured between 2003 and 2007 may be affected. Hoping my 2007 misses out.

Yeah true but mine is the other end. It's a 1999 so could get lucky

Apparently Toyota copped a mammoth number recall for there airbags.

I think its going to be the biggest recall in history to be honest

It's the biggest recall already and they have not stopped expanding it. Apparently this company had 20% of the airbag market so from 2003-2007 that's a lot of cars!

Yeah right!!!! My GUiV is smack bang in the middle of that!!!
