All 5th gens up to 2017. Some 2016s got the revised airbag all 2017s are safe.
I thought 2017's were also included with the others. But you think all 2017's are safe and won't have to have them changed out?

Just looked mine up 20 minutes ago. RIP driving with any friends ever again.Of course, look up your vehicle by the VIN.
Meanwhile, here's a nice list of affected makes, models and years from Car and Driver.
Massive Takata Airbag Recall: Everything You Need to Know | News |*Car and Driver | Car and Driver Blog

A Takata Airbag Inflator Safety Recall for your vehicle will be issued in approximately January 2019. You will be notified when the recall has been issued. Please update your owner information for Toyota/Scion or Lexus so that we have your current contact information.
This vehicle is equipped with a Takata-produced front passenger airbag inflator. It IS NOT currently involved in any recall. However, according to an order issued by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the vehicle’s front passenger airbag inflator will be recalled by the end of 2019. As a result, Toyota will contact you to arrange for a replacement inflator or airbag assembly at NO CHARGE in connection with this future recall.
Based on multiple independent investigations and NHTSA’s independent expert, NHTSA has concluded that the vehicle’s Takata front passenger airbag inflator does not pose an unreasonable risk to safety until after long-term exposure to environmental moisture and fluctuating high temperatures.
NHTSA and Takata are prioritizing the Takata airbag inflator recalls, considering time in operation, temperature, and environmental moisture, which depends on a vehicle’s operating location. You can obtain more information about this on NHTSA’s website (www.safercar.gov) or Toyota’s website (www.toyota.com/recall).
Any info. On what's going to happen with these airbags, with Takara declaring bankruptcy?

A Chinese company is buying most of Takata.
" Key Safety will substantially retain all of Takata’s employees worldwide. The air-bag maker had 50,530 people as of March 2016, according to data compiled by Bloomberg."
"Key Safety’s purchase will exclude the assets and operations related to Takata’s manufacturing and sale of ammonium nitrate air-bag inflators, according to the company.
The inflator operations are expected to be run by a reorganized Takata following the transaction closing and eventually will be wound down, the companies said."
Maybe Toyota will wake up and learn to act right.You know, stop lying, stop covering up mistakes, stop dragging their feet, stop paying huge fines. After all, here's a perfectly good example of a company that probably thought they were too big to fail.

So for now, we are all just ticking time bombs waiting to explode? Does anyone have a recommended strategy on how to go about handling this?
and If youre referring to the Toyota unattended acceleration issues, that lawsuit fairytale was just put together by greedy lawyers. They were never able to replicate the problem. They only thing they were ever able to come up with were securing floor mats with hooks.
You want to talk about dragging their feet? Try ford and firestone. There were many more deaths when that nonsense happend.
How about Volkswagen?
So. Toyota admitted they had a cover up and paid 1.2 billion (the largest fine ever imposed on an automaker) and it was all a fairytale made up by lawyers... Come on.....

Favorite quote from the article....
“In the more than four years since these recalls, we have gone back to basics at Toyota to put our customers first.” humm, I guess the sting of 1.2 billion has worn off.
Car companies make mistakes like this. None of them are perfect.
Yes, many companies had Takata bags... but Toyota has handled it poorly. One thing Toyota does not do.. is move quickly. They are struggling big time right now.
Maybe someone can post the mfg date when 2016s flipped to the new airbag. I'm pretty sure it was late in 2016.
