Safety recall notice 2005-2014 air bags.
- Thread starter ROUSH 4
- Start date
Mine went in yesterday.
Did you get your second notice?
Did they actually put in an order for your VIN?
The part will not come until they order it for your specific VIN.
I know my dealer put in an service appt when they placed the order. They made it sound like that helps get the part sooner, but who knows.
I think it was over a week before the part came in.

Each new replacement air bag is assigned specifically to the vin # of your vehicle. Once the second notice arrives , the dealer has been given the air bag for your car to install. I repeat, any air bags installed prior to a first notice were not upgraded units, but a stock unchanged replacement and are not good. The chemical detonation compound used in the bag has been changed with a structure mod to the unit as well. To get the new unit you must have a second notice of recall.
No fees all covered, Tom. No coin out of pocket cost. Dealerships also have gotten dealer allocation parts not linked to specific VIN numbers as well. You can call your dealership to see if they have the new part in stock . I do not believe that they will give you a replacement for install. The Mustang must be brought in for service. It documents that the work was done & the new unit installed.
