I have an 08 Gt500, just got my recall notice. Anyone else get theirs yet? It said they are still waiting for parts and will mail me when they get them in stock. Any idea how long this job takes? Should I demand a rental?

Air bag Inflator Recall
- Thread starter 03chromecobra
- Start date
No ETA on parts, they have not even given us a part number to look-up availability. If it is like the FSA that was on the 05-06 models the actually work takes a half hour at most. The car will probably sit longer waiting for a tech to get to it than it will in the stall getting the part replaced. Last I saw, the recall does not have rental money setup.
Ok cool thanks for the info!
It could be as long as 18 months.

I asked my local dealership and the service techs response was no. Simple swap as mentioned. I have the same concern as you and countless others as I don't need any crap going on or issues from the dealership screwing up the tune. So my plan is to make the appointment when the parts are available and physical go and oversee (from a distance) the swap to make sure. I don't trust them, especially with all the horror stories you see and hear about these days.
Here is the procedure used to remove and install the drivers side airbag. From the 2014 Mustang Factory Service Manual.

That was my question, is this the drivers side steering wheel bag only? I'll bet this will get deeper with time, passenger side, side bags, etc.
Im doing these on our SC430s for the passenger side inflator. All thats getting replaced is the propellant. airbag and cover assembly are reused. Shouldnt take the technician longer than 10 minutes to swap out the effected part on our cars.
I just got my recall notice. I called the local dealership and they said that there are no parts yet.
Its just the preliminary notice we got. Ford and manufacturers are legally obligated to inform the consumer when they file a recall notice. There are times that when the recall notice hits, arts are a week orntwo out. Sometimes, its longer than that.
Got mine
Add me to the list. Letter came in today.
I was able to get mine done early. My dad works in the parts department at the local ford dealer. Took them 1 hour to install.
me too
Both VIN's show up on the NHTSA site, the date of " their " recall was dated 27 May, 2015.
