Just a heads up, if you own one of the following vehicles, you really should get this fixed before it fixes you permanently. Now extended to 14 million vehicles in all 50 states.

Its all of the models at the NHTSA site but the numbers have not been updated to include vehicles in ALL states yet.

According to reports I have read, drivers in high heat or humidity areas of the country are at a higher risk for an airbag failure if the defective unit is present.

People should contact their dealer and find out how to get on a replacement list. You do not have to wait for a recall letter -- find your model on the NHTSA site and take a copy with you. Dealers may balk at expediting a repair, but this is a good time for the squeaky wheel approach IMO.

Right there with you. My GT is included in the recall and my local dealer has no idea how to deal with it.
