Toyota and other carmakers have over the past years been rocked by millions of recalls over problems with airbags supplied by supplier company Takata.

In the current recall, Toyota does specify the manufacturer of the affected parts.

Unless the word “not” is missing in the second sentence, this seems to imply that Takata is the manufacturer.

Okay, I found this:

The air bag inflators involved in this recall were not produced by Takata Corp, Toyota spokesman Victor Vanov said.
