Honda used Takata mostly, Toyota used them way less... i believe they already announced new recalls but up to 30 million of new ones from other brands will be added to the list soon it seems.

About five million of the vehicles recalled on Wednesday were Toyotas. Of that total, 637,000 are in the United States and 1.36 million are in Japan. Thirty-five models were affected, the company said, including top sellers like the Corolla.

After 4 or 5 additional announcements, they finally included my dad's MDX. So why on earth was it not included in the first or second recall? How hard is it to trace back who made your airbag?

Why are you so snarky? Do you know what it takes to keep track of the components in a vehicle build?

Not so fast.. Toyota is still analyzing and figuring out their impacts.
