Toyota adding 1.6 million vehicles to Takata air bag recall

And when are these recalls going to come here in Japan?

Seventeen automakers — including Toyota — are adding 35 million to 40 million inflators to the 28.8 million that have already been called back for replacement.

Takata : World's Biggest Air Bag !

The first phase of the expansion covers vehicles from the 2011 model year or older that are registered in Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan), and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

THE MODELS: 2009 -2011 Toyota Corolla and Matrix; 2006-2011 Toyota Yaris; 2010-2011 Toyota 4Runner; 2011 Toyota Sienna; 2008-2011 Scion xB; 2007-2011 Lexus ES; 2010-2011 Lexus GX; 2006-2011 Lexus iS.

Yeah, so why is is this recall of millions of vehicles only happening in the US? Why hasn't there been any investigation into it in Japan? I own a Stepwgn in the models being recalled in the US, but have heard nothing about a recall in Japan.

By now, shouldn't they just recall all cars?

I agree, just recall all vehicles with Takata Airbags from the last 20 years and fold the company. It must be well over half of those airbags already identified already.
