shelbymotorsports Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I suspect this recall will grow in size.

dan206 Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I looked up my Seatac Rental (139) and it is being recalled.

ilmor Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 The affected vehicles are in Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Sort of...regardless of where these Mustangs are located, they have the same airbags. Heat & humidity allegedly is the reason that they fail, hence the recalls in the states w/ those environments.

This is heading in the direction of the GM ignition recall. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTH391 Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Got my notification today. My biggest concern: I have the airbag cover signed. Ugh. I can just imagine some tech screwing up my airbag cover. Don't know how I'm gonna handle this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougarss428 Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 I wonder if it has to do with where the cars were in service. Our car was a Florida car as well. It is now a Virginia car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19again Posted November 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 I wonder if it has to do with where the cars were in service. Our car was a Florida car as well. It is now a Virginia car. You might be right on this cougarrs428 ours was rented out of Tampa. I am calling Monday and schedule an appointment. I am debating whether to have them install my signed air bag cover of it's on the passenger side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19again Posted November 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Stopped at my local Ford store and asked what my next step was regarding this recall. The service writer looked up my VIN and the recall. His first remark was I just need a reprogramming, then the next remark was I didn't have to worry it wasn't part of the recall. He went on with another remark which was I needed both bags replaced then that changed and said no only one, which one he never said. The part would take a week to get and I should make the appointment. That's when I said can't this wait till next spring since the car wasn't coming out anymore this year. He said yes call in the spring and they will take care of it. I would like to see exactly what he was reading so I can determine what's going on with this recall.

07H231 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Mine is sitting at the dealer now awaiting airbags. They were looking at the recall notice like it was written in Greek so they obviously had not seen very many of these come in yet. I would suggest making an appointment ahead of time as it appears this is not an "on the shelf" item at most dealers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Mine are going to wait for spring due to the weather here. It also gives them time to figure things out. Harley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HARALD KELLEY Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 So 06H0050 is on the list. Anyone get this done yet? If so any issues and does it affect the passenger side as well. Recall says "Driver Airbag Inflator". Concerned about the airbag cover signatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07H231 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Mine did and you should be concerned. My signature was scuffed when they did the swap out. That was only part of the frustration as the car was at the dealer for a month, yes, a month. I would suggest making sure they have the parts in stock before taking the car to drop it off. In addition, if you have anyone, including yourself, who can take the cover off and reinstall it before taking it to the dealer, I would suggest doing that. I did and did not go that route and now I wish I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTH391 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Thanks. You confirmed my fear. I will have to work out an option on the signed cover. I'm thinking they may balk at a coverless airbag. The techs at the local dealer could cross thread a light bulb. I have no confidence in them. I may wait some more before I act. The car is tucked away for the winter. No one's driving it right now. No rush yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcaramucci Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Mine is scheduled to go in on Friday and so far i have been told this will be the first one they have done. When you ask what needs to be done you get all different stories depending on who you talk to. Think I may just hold off a few months. Don’t want to lose the signed air bag cover due to them not knowing what they are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul burgess Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 i went to my dealer on Friday to look-up my car and he said it was not on Canadian cars.then i told him mine was a us car,the he looked up the vin.then he said a kit was what they are ordering.will see what he means by that when it comes in,two weeks to come in.b.c canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
