Does this basically mean I need to wait for a recall notice?
yes, I believe so.

Are we for sure that this has expanded to 2010-2014 model years? From what I've read the more recent models were not affected by the Takata issue.

Man, if I owned stock in that company I'd drop it like a bad habit.

I checked my VIN and I have a 2012 and says it's part of the recall, so I would say yes, the 2010-2014 models are going t be recalled.

You'd loose then. The stock will come back in time ..... and if not, you will still only loose what you'll loose by dumping it now.

I wonder if this will affect some used car sales of the Mustangs with the air bag recalls.

I was looking at used cars for my daughter and the local Ford dealer had some cars i was interested in, but would not sell them because they were waiting on airbags for a recall. They said they had to sit until the recalls were done. I found it interesting.

I traded in a vehicle that also has the takata airbag sh*t (i disclosed it before the deal was done). The dealer also said they would have to fix it before they list it.

This whole thing is so awful that its hilarious.

Based on what I have read here, and heard about on the news. Is it even safe for any of us to be driving our cars? Basically, if the airbag is deployed, we could DIE. I just read about another airbag related death in the news yesterday, they are up to 7 now. Ford is not allowing recalled vehicles off lots because of safety risk. They should be disabled at the very least until they can be replaced. It would be safer to risk an accident with no airbag than get hit in the face and chest with metal shrapnel while crashing your car.
