    That's what I've heard in the past. Passenger bags only but wonder why would only passenger side be Takata bags but not driver's side?? So Is driver's side bags OK and not made by Takata??

    Gotta love government bullcrap wording like this from your link:

    "Certain passenger airbag inflators may allow moisture to enter the airbag inflator causing the propellant in the inflator units to deteriorate." Deterioration of the propellant may lead to abnormal deployment of the passenger airbag."

    But the hazards?

    "Abnormal passenger airbag deployment or metal fragment scatter may pose a hazard to the occupants of the vehicle."

    Umm what?? Metal fragment scatter? Like a shotgun in the face maybe??

    This is seriously a ridiculous situation patted down by the powers. "It's all OK folks. You have a 410 pointing at your face but if you don't run into anything you'll be OK. Just bring it in please."


    Gong him Red!!
