Who manufactures Aston airbags?

With the huge Takata recall announcement I'm curious who manufactures the airbags for our babies?

According to this we're good

And we aren't listed here, but you can hop over to check your VIN specifically from this page

Unfortunately, Aston Martin isn't one of the "available manufacturers" on the NHTSA site, and when you put an AM VIN in the search box you get an N/A type message.

I've seen that list too. My concern is that if the airbag is from Takata we may fall through the cracks. Maybe I'll mail my service guy.

I did that on Friday. I asked two questions: did AM use Takata airbags... and if not, who DID supply them?
I'll post the answer when I get a response unless someone else gets a definitive answer first.
