Airbag Recall
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.

...the recalls started in 2013 with Honda,
then 2014 with the others.
Last year, the total recalled was 70 million,
PLUS, they recalled some of the replaced ones THIS year.
They aren't going to make & replace 70 million airbag in 1 year.
Relax & have some patience. Oh my gosh...

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.

Ha! You probalby got MY bag...now I'll have to wait! I kid. Honestly I could care less! If the bag goes off and mames me, guess I'll start my retirement career early on Ford and or Takata.
