Drivers side air bag unavailable

[bdcardinal]

I had my driver's air bag inflator replaced 08/16/2016 at Baxter Ford Omaha. I asked about passenger side replacement but the service advisor had no information.

We finally have a bunch of the driver's side inflators for 05-12 Mustangs. They think sometime 4th quarterish for the 13-14 fix. No news on the passenger side inflators.

Rcvd the airbag recall notice in July 2015. Called Ford yesterday. They have absolutely no idea when they will ship any airbags to dealers. So I am surprised that they gave you a date of a few months. I also complained to the NHTSA which did zip. I have also heard of availability by the end of this year, but I am not holding my breath. Getting safe air bags is almost as impossible as trying to get Ford to stand behind their warranty for the thousands of Mustang owners whose hoods have paint that are bubbling and flaking because of contaminated aluminum.

I've received two letters, both stating 4th quarter availability. I'm not really impressed with Ford on the way they are handling this. Honda and other manufacturers are issuing loaners, Ford won't even do that when it comes time to do the repair. And I have a really BAD feeling that by the time 4th quarter rolls around, they'll need to replace the passenger side too. since more bags have been recalled.

When I brought my 14 in a month or so ago for the AC Compressor they replaced the air bag. I asked them about it and mentioned I thought it wouldn't be available until the 4th quarter. The Service Manager said they had a few of them in and they were replacing them on customer cars as they came in for service. Right place right time. I am sure it helps that I bought the car there and they do all the maintenance. Plus the service manager is in love with what I have done to the car.

Just curious, what is the part number on your repair order?

I can try to dig it out, no promises though. Maybe I can call my dealer and see if they will give it to me.

If they billed out 5R3Z-63043B13-A or 5R3Z-63043B13-C they did you a massive disservice since that is not the proper repair part for your vehicle.

That is the part for 05-12 Mustangs. The -A part was literally the same defective part that was being replaced.
