They force you to in Australia. A friend of mine has an older Volvo (2004 or so), and he hasn't gotten around to having it done. He's been threatened with registration cancellation if he doesn't get it done.
I had a Mazda 6 done three damn times (and no one explained to me why). The third time I cracked the shits and insisted that they come and collect the car, and supply me with a loaner. They wouldn't collect it, but I did get a loaner for two days.

Reply to comment by RockItGuyDC in TIL the first confirmed victim of Takata airbags was 18y/o Parham. As she drove around a car park, she lightly bumped another vehicle making the airbag inflate, sending metal pieces at such tremendous force that one hit the teen’s neck slicing open her carotid artery. She bled to death in her seat by ahm713
