If I have read correctly, it is just the passenger side airbag for the IS, correct? Should I be worried? The dealer is taking my car in for a dash replacement in a few weeks, is it likely that they will have airbags ready by this point? Scary.

Yes, looks like my IS will be involved, and this car has had several recalls already. Soon I'll take in for service and have the "sticky dash" diagnosed per the related warranty enhancement.

Can't pretend to be an expert, but the recall is only for the passenger side airbag on all the vehicles mentioned. Also, not all cars will be affected -- it's quite possible your car will not have the Takata airbag.

Here's the full press release:
