Found this Australian article from a few days ago which aims to cover the global sitaution

http://www.news.com.au/finance/business/worlds-biggest-recall-now-53-million-cars-with-takata-airbags-might-spray-shrapnel/story-fnkgdhrc-1227361789731

Probably more to come per the article. I will be surprised if we see any vehicles made exclusively in Thailand or SE Asia on the list anytime soon. The money-men will calculate that it's cheaper here to pay damages! Be careful with your Vigos and Fortuners (I have one of each). Wife's Jazz was made in Tokyo (in the big Thai flood) but that's seemingly not viewed to be a risk (yet?). Nothing on the list that was made after 2009? No Hondas/Toyotas so maybe that's indicative for those of us with later models. I don't know the age of those Nissan models though.

Edit: On reflection maybe this is just Australian models - the age indicator would nonetheless be useful globally and of course some of those models would have been sold in Thailand.
