Great vehicle. I have a 2007, a little less miles, 215,000 km. Just noticed that it is affected by Takata. Driver's airbag recall, but no parts yet. Don't know why passenger side isn't affected, maybe it isn't Takata, or maybe they feel that the passenger is further away so any shrapnel that hits them won't hurt. Apparently Takata tested 30,000 recalled bags and had a 0.8% failure rate. Of course there are no stats saying what the occupant injury rate would be in an accident with just a seat belt and no airbag.
One item on these that is prone to fail is the coolant bypass valve so you may want to check that for leaks.
