Surely our cars are among the faulty Takata inflators?

After reading this and other articles noting that Honda is continuing to expand their airbag recalls (today even), I feel somewhat confident that the 1st generation TSX line should be part of this recall as well. I note that many Accords (some 03's to 07's) are already part of the recall. While our cars were made in Japan, I suspect we share the same airbag as well. Since purchasing my '06 tsx, I've had the airbag replaced twice for various cosmetic and functional defects (loose part jangling around inside). At this point I have no idea who manufactured my now 3rd airbag. It seems likely that our cars should have been part of the recall by now given that so many Honda's (and some TL's I believe) are as well. Does anyone know why 1st gen. tsx's haven't been included as part of Honda's ever expanding recall? My worry, as per the NY times article, is that they're waiting for reports of a death or injury in our cars before issuing a blanket recall on all 04-08 tsx's.

Thanks for this. But I already know our cars aren't on the list, yet. The issue is (as the article I linked to notes) there's a huge lag from identification to recall. And we don't know if our model years have the suspect inflators.
