So I got the letter about the driver's airbag recall from Ford, called the dealer that has done some work on the car (not my selling dealer) and I am told that Ford Canada will only allow a dealer to order 1 airbag a week to do this recall. I had to double check with the advisor about that...............so basically every week they can only fix 1 car.
The other issue is that they want the car there for the day to do this recall, my understanding is that the airbag only takes a few minutes to remove and reinstall and I showed the advisor a video on youtube on how the airbag comes out (the whole video was like a minute and a bit to remove and install the airbag).
I currently start work really early (like 4-5am) and usually don't get home till after 3pm or so really no way to drop the car off unless I take it in the day before and leave it there overnight, I was assured there would be no issue (yeah right, heard that before) but I don't really have a choice so that's what I'll be doing unfortunately.
Actually wanted this recall done on a Saturday first thing and would wait for it but they will only do this recall during the week. Oh well.............
