Have an appointment Monday to get my Drivers side airbag replaced. They told me it would only take an hour.

 

I called dealer, said I have to wait for the letter. wtf is that. Time to put a call into our Ford rep for our company.

 

They're not replacing the whole airbag.
They're pulling the airbag out, replacing the inflator module off the back of it, and re-installing the whole assembly

 

Cool. I wonder if they have replaced the explosive with something more stable? Or if they have better designed the unit to allow for less moisture to get through?

 

My dealer had my inflator replaced and me out the door in about 35 minutes, but I scheduled my appointment for first thing in the morning. I also think they had a dedicated tech doing nothing but the recall.

 

Inflator replaced. Only took 30 minutes.

 

Yes!! Got my official notification to bring it in. Gonna schedule an appointment soon!

 

I live in CA and have the same recall on my vehicle. I went to my dealership to have it fixed and they told me that the recall is new still and that ford has not made the part. They were not able to do it and I was told that the part should be available by the end of the year. It seems like some here are getting it fixed. Is my dealer lying to me or does it depend by state? I have been getting several letters in the mail about this re call as well.

 

I've been waiting too. I believe California is low on the priority list. The places that are more humid are where they are starting. I live in California and I've been waiting too. My car is a 2012.

 

In New Jersey, called my dealer and they said the parts are slowly getting out and will let me know when available.

 

Anyone from VA get their new recall notice yet? Still waiting on mine...

 

Finally got the replacement done on my 2005 GT yesterday (Wednesday 6/15/2016). Next up is my 2010 BMW 335i. Will see when I get the official call. Guessing maybe early 2017?

 

Got mine done twice in 3 weeks.
They got the part for the 2014 recall (which was basically a temp fix, newer version of the crappy old bag)


And had the 15S21 replaced today which no one was expecting the parts to come in that soon for it.
Owner.Ford.com shows the status change from 12(no fix) to 11(not completed), so yes parts are available. Just a matter of when.
From reading all the articles on the subject, it sounds like they are getting parts to area's that are known for higher humidity which is part of the problem.

 

Yeah!!!! I received my recall letter that stated parts where available but the FORD dealer says he AIN'T got any, can't get any...... and Ford tells them they are NOT available.. so we are just playing the waiting game a hoping we don't have a wreck . if so just duck really fast!!!!

 

Or just start wearing full face helmet, and pretend you're on the drag strip!

 

Mine is done...finally.

 

Got mine done last week..... Good job. I didn't even know they did it until I looked over they paperwork. They will be gentle with her......

 

Got my letter the other day.
Just got it done this morning. In and out in 45 min. No problems.

 

monday got the letter on just the 06...last time got 06/07/09 letters same day- guessing maybe theres still a backlog for parts, so doing oldest ones first?

 

got my letter a couple days ago,called my dealer and was told two weeks to get the part,they will call me when it comes in!
