Plug your car's VIN into www.safercar.gov and it should tell you. Chances are the service dept and the other dealership are right. The parts have only been making it to the dealers for a month or so now.

 

yea i did that. another lady looked it up and said they replaced an airbag but im sure it wasnt the right way of fixing it

 

PM me your vin I can run it on Ford Oasis site.

 

Welp, there's some info for newer owners. Right off Fords very own Oasis

 

yeah that sucks...these companies take these recalls to lightly i feel. they are important and they should be busting their butts to try to get all the parts out there so people dont have these issues.
smdh

 

What mine says.. I been waiting a while.

 

wow almost 10 years to fix it!! smdh unless im reading that wrong

 

lol, well, kinda, but not. I mean its been like that for 10 years if you think about it, just not recalled then.

 

oh ok lol... i was about to say, now thats ridiculous

 

Yeah the first 2 digits of the recall number says what year the recall came out in

 

Well, I just got a letter from Ford telling me for the first time about the passenger side airbag recall 16S26, had a big page picture to show me the difference. About two weeks ago I had called about the driver's side recall 15S21 and they had ordered the part.


Called local Ford dealer just a bit ago today, part is in for my 15S21 so now I have an appointment for Wednesday afternoon .... but he told me the new 16S26 part was not gonna be available until the third quarter 2016 ..... so I'll call him back in September.

First we heard of passenger side recall on our '08 ... ... so now when we drive it, I guess she can wear the full face helmet & visor and I can start wearing just a hat and sunglasses again after Wednesday. I'll show up at the dealership looking like "The Stig" & leave looking like "Joe Schmoe".

(Edited 08-04-16 to say took it in yesterday showing up at 2:10 for a 2:30 appointment .... and at 2:38 pm I was leaving headed home .... 15S21 all done)

 

So are you still waiting for the driver's side airbag to be replaced?

I got my second letter stating parts were available a couple weeks ago.
My car has a build date of Nov. 2004 which is only 1 year older than yours. I just got mine done out here (Dundee, IL) at Cucci Ford a couple weeks ago. They even had the parts in stock. I called on a Thursday for an appointment and took it in that Saturday. 30 minutes and done.

 

Just got the driver airbag inflator recall done on the Shelby.
Took less than an hour, including the tech putting the car up in the air for the required multi-point inspection, hoping they'd find stuff to upsell me.
They found nothing.
Recall itself took about 10 minutes once the tech actually started it.

 

Had mine done today took 30 min. I wanted to get a quote from them [Don Reid Ford]to sell my car to them but the sales manager was off.All the service and sales guys loved it. Whats not to love 2008 Candy Apple red gt/cs with 8800 miles.Hope to get $17,000. If not Ebay here I come.

 

Is the ford rep still on here? I keep getting letters from ford my drivers side inflator needs replaced and in stock. However my local dealer says it was done in 4/09/2015. and doesn't need it.

 

Will check on my passenger side replacement tomorrow. Every time I call they say they don't have the passenger parts. BUMMER! don-ohio

 

According to her profile, Deysha hasn't been on the site since this past June. Wonder what happened?

 

Same here. Mine was also replaced in 2015 but they were not the correct 'improved' units at that time. Your local dealer is probably incorrect. I just had mine done again last week with the updated version. They said I will be getting yet another notice for the passenger side when the new units become available. The good news is that I was in and out of there in 30 minutes. Other than them messing up my seat position, it went well.

 

Darn I was hopping to get ahold of her, She could get my dealer straitened out as she did a lot on here. I will have to try Fords web sight I guess.

 

I had a similar recall done right around 2014, prior to the Takata recall letter I got later in March 2015. When I asked my local Ford, which I brought for that 2014 recall, they mentioned it was some kind temporary fix. I brought it back to them once I got the letter that the official Takata replacement was in stock and had it done back in June of last year. Got another letter a month or 2 later saying that the passenger side needs to be replaced. Who knows when that letter will come.


I am still waiting for the letter on my 2010 BMW.
