Had mine done a couple days ago. I'm in the Houston area. I dropped mine off at 8am and they called me around noon to tell me it was ready.

I finally got my letter in the mail from Ford yesterday. AFAIK, this was the first letter Ford sent me about the recall. Like someone else mentioned, the letter confirmed that the driver's side airbags for the '13-'14 Mustangs will not be available until the fourth quarter of this year (July). My car is a '13, my wife's is a '14. :(

Now the passenger side, too?

on the books for driver's side airbag replacement on Tuesday. Said they could need it up to half a day depending on how busy the shop is.

I work at a VW dealership remote body shop.

we have over 200 NEW cars that we can't sell because of this issue. they are all packed tightly into a corner of the lot at the body shop.
VW is paying us $200 PER car PER month to hold on to it. they are also paying us $50 a month to start each car, bring it up to operating temp and drive it .3 miles so it doesn't get lot rot.
I have heard replacement air bags won't be available until 2nd 1/4 2019.

All those cars sitting outside for years. Can't be good on the finish. What a shame.

Unfortunately the inflator for the 13-14 cars is slightly different

I scheduled my appointment with City Ford, in Columbia City, IN. I was careful to make sure City understood what needed done, which they verified with a VIN check. Long story short, I made the twenty minute drive to City only to be told that the person I talked to on the phone was new and that the parts were not in.

Airbag recall service done today. Took them about 30min to get it done, but he wasn't exactly happy about me waiting it seemed. Made some remark about how if I left it for the day, they can get more of them done ....
As soon as the intake guy parked my car, the service tech drove it right into the bay.

Except for the, "not much clearance for our lifts on your car, haha" comment, (my car's pretty damn low) it was overall painless and quick in and out.

Fucking dealers always act like dropping it off for a 10 minute repair is no big deal. Some of us aren't capable of driving two vehicles at a time and it's not like their dealership is within walking distance of my house. But we are inconveniencing them by waiting.

No need for a lift
