A friend just had the passenger side airbag recall accomplished on his 2104 GT Premium and has been complaining about the fit and fair of the airbag door in the dash ever since. Heard rumors that the new airbag fits tighter and is pushing out on the door??? I'm getting ready to get mine done but have concerns now. Anyone else experience any issues?

No issues with mine. My cover had a crease in it before the recall, was hoping the bag would come with a new cover, but no such luck.:(

Any pictures to prove this?
Here are some pics. Oh, by the way I misspoke. His car is a 2013 GT Premium. He also says that with light pressure the door will pop open.

In the last three pics there looks like a shallow dent in the lower door too, near the upper edge a few inches from the LH side.

Thanks
Has he tried taking it back to see if it can be adjusted?
Yeah he tried but hasn't got satisfaction yet. Might need new doors but no parts available.

I need the recall performed on my car too and am wondering if this sort of thing has been happening a lot, if there's a known cause to be avoided, or just an isolated instance before I get it done.

Well i have 08 that needs to get done. But havent had the time. According to ford it should go back exactly like it did the 1st time.
