I just... Yeah. Well, there's no saving this silliness, time to stop.
Can someone tell me when the S197 passenger airbags are being fixed at a decent rate, thanks in advance.
That's all I was really in here for, and got sidetracked. Again. Sorry 'bout that.

Just got home from work and a letter from Ford was in my mailbox telling me that parts are now available for the passenger side recall.
I will be calling my dealer ASAP.
Just called the dealer and of course they do not have any parts yet. Said they are expecting them next week and I should call back on Monday. Unfortunately he would not "reserve" one for me even though I called now and had a letter.

It would appear they want to make certain the replacement parts are in before scheduling any appointments. Anyhow just a guess on my part

I had to take my wife’s car by the dealership for them to verify mileage and VIN, before they would order an airbag for it.

IMO that is totally unacceptable. The dealership should have service records of your wife's car in their system. Mileage has absolutely nothing to do with the airbag inflator recall. All you should be required to do is call the dealership, provide them with your wife's VIN over the phone along with make, year and model. Also, inform them of the airbag recall notification letter you received from Ford and then request for them to order an airbag inflator replacement for it and have them set up an appointment to install it when it comes in!

AB is ordered just not at dealership yet.
They have no service records...as this is my first experience with this particular dealer.
The usual dealer is new and small... said they had only gotten in a couple of ABs so far.
So I went to this dealership, that is close by.
My biggest beef is that Ford is warning you to not to use the passenger seat because of the danger but no such warning about drivers bag.
I don't know why the bag could not be temporally disabled for safety's sake...

Congrats and glad your replacements parts for the passenger side airbag inflator finally came in and were able to get them installed. Hopefully, they'll be no further airbag recalls for our rides
