But I had the VIN !
So I ran it anyway !
I also ran my '06 Tundra on a different site !
It was clear too !
I also ran the girlfriend's '03 Subaru !
It was clear too !
I may have overdone the above post a bit, especially with the exclamation points, lol !

My car is on the list. I called my dealer and made an appointment to have it done next week. They said I am the first customer calling about this recall. I also asked them to make sure the part was in stock when I dropped the car off. The parts guy said the air bag inflator lists for just $35, so I guess we won't be getting a new pony horn button. Mine is showing that corrosion crap too. 
Has anyone here had this recall performed yet? How long does it take...etc?

I brought my car in on the 22nd? Now dealer's saying MAYBE by the end of this week, probably next. Obviously a lot of people going in for the recalls and the modules appear to be on back-order.
is this a calculated risk?

Of course, cause we’re the bestest, Paris MkVI! 
This link does not work for Canada, VGMStudios. You can PM me or FordServiceCA with your VIN and we can check for you.

Still no letter, but there was a big exclamation mark on the site for my vin. My ols service advisor no longer works at the Dealer I use, and she went to another Dealer that I will not even look at, let alone walk on. Sigh. I hope they don't jack with the ECM, cuz I run a tune.

Thanks Deysha, I got a call from Allison the other day and she was able to give me some details. She said the dealer ordered the part back when I originally brought it in, but because it's a HAZMAT item (you know, being a small nitrogen bomb and all), it takes quite a bit of paperwork to get out of the warehouse in TN. She said the case has been escalated, but there's not too much you can do w/ HAZMAT stuff. 2 weeks for me

The replacement air bag for my '06 took about two weeks (roughly) from the time I placed the call to a local Ford dealer, until I received a call from their service department to let me know the part had arrived.
I had my Takata exploding air bag replaced on my '06 yesterday. I was first in line at the service bay when the dealership opened--whole process took a little under an hour. Replacement went smooth and visually is unnoticeable.
Relatively painless.
