This link will be updated as Takata updates the list. I'd periodically check to be sure

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.

Looking over AB list, only Lexus models have been SC430's.

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

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.

Some vehicles determined so far:
TOYOTA:
2002 - 2005 Lexus SC
2002 - 2005 Toyota Corolla -- Added May 19: 2006 - 2007 Toyota Corolla
2003 - 2005 Toyota Corolla Matrix -- Added May 19: 2006 - 2007 Toyota Corolla Matrix
2002 - 2005 Toyota Sequoia
2003 - 2005 Toyota Tundra

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?

it is not about who made them, but is the issue happening with those models.

As I said, only Lexus is 2002-2005 Lexus SC.

On the other hand, lots of other manufacturers, for instance it seems all of the 3 series at that time used Takata airbags:

BMW:
2004-2006 BMW 325Ci
2004-2006 BMW 325i
2004-2005 BMW 325Xi
2004-2006 BMW 330Ci
2004-2006 BMW 330i
2004-2005 BMW 330Xi
2004-2006 BMW M3

The media says your car is going to kill you.
