I stopped by the dealer for an oil change and was adviced the '07s are involved and couldn't tell if the '08s are included since the vin number is what brings up the notice.

 

It's not showing up on the NHTSA website, I guess it has not taken effect yet? I haven't heard anything about it.

 

The service advisor tolm me she did not have the information required to correct the problem yet. I will stop by the dealer on Tuesday and inquire further.

 

I just checked the MyFord website for my '06 GT, and it lists an airbag recall in the recall section. It doesn't have any info about it though. Here is what it says...

2006 Ford Mustang VIN: 1zvht82h46511XXXX DEMONSTRATION/DELIVERY HOLD - PERFORM PRIOR TO VEHICLE DELIVERY - PASSENGER AIRBAGRecall Code: 08C02

 

That's what i was thinking, why would the airbags in a GT500 be any different than any other mustang?

 

As I posted, it popped up when the vin number was entered. I took my other car two months ago for an oil change and nothing was mentioned so this might be a silent recall which was recently posted. I decided to post this information to bring awareness but would prefer if it did not exist at all.

 

Thanks George

 

Just checked 'My Ford' and the same notice came up for the Bullitt.

 

Here you Go!

Thanks for posting.

 

573.6 (c) (2) - Potentially Affected Vehicles

"All Ford Mustangs vehicles built from Aprill 22, 2005, through January 31, 2008, at the Auto Alliance Plant are potentially affected. This includes part of 2005 model year, all of the 2006 and 2007 model years, and part of the 2008 model year..."

 

Thanks for posting that.
Sounds like if you follow what is already advised in the owner manual. - wear seat belts, position distanced away from airbag, - there isn't a problem.
Big recall from the results of testing one vehicle.

It does state 'certain' 2005-2008 Mustangs

 

The question is will they tell you if they update. If not I could have a problem if they flash over the tune I have on it.

I don't think they flash the ECM.

 

Thanks.
Sounds like a little female problem.

 

How else would they update software?

 

the letter states


It would appear that module can be updated itself, or maybe replaced.

 

My wife's car was taken care of today:

FORDRECALL: MISC FOR RECALL OR CAMPAIGN
08C02
Caused by 08C02 CAMPAIGN
Corrected by 08C02B:
Work performed by xxx xxxxxxx (210) Warranty
REPROGRAM RCM

 

It says RCM specifically so that means they didn't touch the ecm? George can you find out?

Roger

 

Roger: I just spoke to the service advisor and was told the correction was limited to the restraint control module.
