You guys should be checking around at various dealers. I was able to get both of mine done last Summer, but had to go to a second dealer that I typically did not use to get the final one done.
Boy am I glad it is done. Do not want to have to worry about taking on the shrapnel in an accident. Could kill both front passengers in a minor accident if they deploy.

Therefore until your passenger side airbag is also taken care of.. You still run the risk of taking on shrapnel in the event of an accident if they deploy

I just got my 05’ about a month or two ago so everything done to it is a mystery and I believe the car sat and was perhaps maybe sold at an auction due to no extra keys, no key fobs and 1 janky Chinese key including spider webs inside of the kick panels and in the car and under the car but if I check on fords website, would it tell me if the drivers been done?

Received my letter from Ford for the passenger side mid January 2018, stating that I must not allow anyone to sit on the passenger side. Funny, Ford never said anything about not sitting on the driver side in July 2015. Wasn't there the same risk to the driver back then?

Yes Ford sent out a letter warning not to allow anyone to sit in the front passenger seat. Got my warning in December 2017. So my Mustang is kind of useless unless I take it by myself on a ride. My wife will never sit in the backseat. Ford will now not be responsible if your passenger is hurt or killed in an accident. Of course I would now never let anyone sit there until it is fixed. Nice having a car that is basically useless for a couple. Isn't it funny that thousands of new Mustangs rolling off the assembly line are getting airbags made for them?

Keep your family safe
However...
This is America
Multiple warnings do not a lawsuit prevent.
It just shows intent on Ford's part to warn of danger.
If somebody is injured or killed, there will still be a lawsuit.
And perhaps a large payout
Little comfort if someone dies.

Yours is the first passenger side replacement I've seen. Did you receive a notification that the parts were available, or did you just call the dealership?

I was at Ford last week for the Explorer exhaust recall and I asked our service adviser when they would be getting the passenger airbag parts because I wasn't bringing my car in two different times to get both airbags replaced. She said they had just gotten 8 passenger airbags in that day and she said I'll put your name on one. Brought the car in the next day to get them both replaced.

05RedGT - Thanks for the heads up. I called my local dealer and they said they had a few replacement passenger-side airbags in. I made an appointment and had it replaced this morning. In and out in about 50 minutes. Now I can feel safe with someone riding in the passenger seat again.

To be continued.
