First recall in 2014 was for the passenger side. Second recall notice 2015/2016 is for the driver's side.
Told by Ford Service that the recall replacement parts are a temporary fix. Apparently Ford wants to ditch Takata and only use parts made in USA...gee whiz and golly...about time.

I've already received a notice of the passenger side recall. I've also had it completed already - the dealer did it while doing the driver's side about a month ago and about a week before I got the notification from Ford. I was very impressed with their level of service.

I seriously doubt Ford is going to recall millions of cars a second time, not to mention issue an outdated, nationalistic proclamation like "only made in the USA." That era is over. Takata cut corners, just like US (and every other country on earth) companies have. Great products can be produced everywhere.
This was the information given to me by the service manager at the dealership. The safety of the airbag deployment is an issue in litigation when owners and passengers are injured by defective parts. The Takata part is defective hence the various recalls. By the way my two Mustangs have been recalled twice already for the airbag issue. Should Ford decide on a part made in North America then I imagine there might be a third and fourth recall. I only pass on the information I am given to alert others.

"I have been doing some research and can find no law that prohibits driving a vehicle with deployed or disabled airbags. "
I believe you are right, but it's the body shop at this point that doesn't want to release it back to me because they don't want to be held liable if anything were to happen driving an unsafe car.

Driver side done but
Took a wait of 2.5 hours. But I noticed a few days later the Mustang emblem in the center of the wheel (the part taken off to replace the recalled part) was scratched. It looks like it was set on the concrete floor and pushed.
