So in the light of recent Euro car makers telling customers to immediately stop driving their cars due to Takata airbag issue ... (BMW, Citroen, etc)

I am wondering I have 2 Japanese imports (Toyota and Subaru) - which I am sure have these Takata things but as they are imported, I can't get any information from Toyota and Subaru New Zealand. They say it's fine.

But is there a Japanese website that you can put in the VIN of these JDM cars to see if there is a Takata issue?

Unless you put it in a container yourself as parts and bult it.
Pretty sure the idea is the vin and origin are noted as part of the import procedures and documentation to ensure it's legit before getting signed off for use here.

So local.market will likely also know based on the reg (which gives vin) whcih then pulls the details about what went in it based on manuf IDs

And self searching will likely end in the same answer?

Just how carjam tells you your car was :imported built up' at search incl VIN.

Assembly Type: Imported Built-Up
Country of Origin: South Korea

That's why recalls here remain so broad for owners to double check via phone.
