Haven't heard a thing yet here in North Carolina. But it's good to know the replacements are out there.

Really? I received a notice in the mail a couple weeks ago advising me to call my dealer and set up an appointment to have the crash bag replaced. I haven't called yet since the car is stored and will be until April. I suppose I should call to see what they have to say.

Wow, I'm feeling taken advantage of. I took mine in last week, it took them over 6 hours. Got the car to them at 09:30am and didn't get it back until about 4:15pm. They did say that they just got the parts in and hadn't done many of them, plus they were "busy" (even though I had an appointment.)

Just like others said though, yes, they do replace the entire steering wheel center cap on the 13-14.

I had mine done back in October. I took mine(2011) in for some general stuff on last Thursday and they said the passenger side bag was coming down the pipe. They said parts weren't in yet, but I will most likely be getting a letter soon.

I'm starting to get really irritated with this, I've been waiting 1.5 years and no parts anywhere on the horizon.

Far as I know June is still the new Q4 from last year, but I am very serious about wanting to trade the car this spring. With a Mustang, I only have maybe between April and July to get good money for it on trade, so I'm getting pretty ****ing irritated at this point. Other people got theirs done a year ago. Legally a dealer can sell a used car with an open recall, but I bet some dealers won't want it and they will all try to dick me on trade as a result, even if they still plan on selling it for full retail.

They aren't going to make & replace 70 million airbag in 1 year.
Relax & have some patience. Oh my gosh...
I get it, but patiently waiting 1.5 years and counting probably qualifies as having patience, which is now understandably wearing thin, because it likely means keeping the car another year+, regardless of how my vehicular needs change. I've been waiting since late summer 2015.

Nobody likes feeling trapped in a vehicle.

I just realized you're in MN. Which dealer?

So far I've called three (Apple Valley, Shakopee, Freeway), none have them.

.

Eden Prairie Ford. I haven't called them yet. I will when I get the car out this spring. I'm a firm believer in, "expect norhing and you'll never be disappointed'. If they don't have a bag for me when I call, first question is when. If the answer is not acceptable, they better be wearing asbestos underwear.

Have you actually found out about trade- on values? Takata issues are common enough that j doubt it affects it that much, especially at a Ford dealer.

Thanks, I gave them a ring this morning and sure enough they had the parts, and were able to do it today. Just got home, took about 30 minutes, so this is finally done.

I am not impressed with Takata's design.

Yes - it is terrible. It looks like it explodes because it cannot vent fast enough. The TRW design is a huge improvement.
