Automakers affected by the recall include Audi, BMW, Honda, Daimler Vans, Fiat Chrysler, Ferrari, Ford, General Motors, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Toyota and Volkswagen.
The affected manufacturers will determine what models have been affected and launch their own recalls. Ford, Fiat Chrysler, Honda and Mazda already have made announcements.
The inflators are part of the approximately 70 million in the U.S. that Takata was to recall as part of the agreement with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
