air bag recall - are MINIs involved?

The network news shows tonight featured stories about "recalls" of the airbags manufactured by Japanese company Takata and installed in numerous models of cars available in the US, including cars made by BMW dating back to 2004. Does anyone know if that includes our MINIs?

The news report I saw did not include MINIs. The air bags being recalled were all made by a single company in Mexico. I don't think MINIs manufactured in Oxford England used any parts imported from Mexico.
