Anyone had the airbag recall done..Question

[fast Ed]

For the Canuckistan residents, Ford Canada released the part ordering info this week for the 2005-2012 cars, and there is stock available in the warehouses up here.

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.

at the dealer where I work at we have a shuttle, actually 3 , to drop people off somewhere while their car is worked on.
we also can pick them up after the repairs are done.
I am sure most dealers have this service.

We do as well. We also have a café for convenience. The biggest problem is the customers perception that "I am here. Is my car done yet"? They always seem to forget that we might have 1 or 2 more cars here being worked on and that does not mean we will drop everything as soon as they get here.

Just a heads up -- check with your local Ford dealer. Mine had gotten a few of the passenger-side replacement airbags in. I made an appointment and had it replaced this morning - in and out in about 50 minutes.

We also have passenger side bags starting to become available.

I see we're in the same state. Which dealer did you go to?

Loganville Ford (not too far from Lawrenceville).

Well - scratch that! The dealer called this morning and said even though it fit, the inflator they installed had the wrong part number and they needed me to come back so they could re-install my old inflator until they could get the correct part number in. What a pain.

At least they caught their error and told you about it. Hope it all gets resolved soon.

Correct. The 16S26 Recall fits numerous vehicles. Each vehicle has a different part number. Realistically Ford should have separated somehow rather than relying on the parts employee to pick the correct one. Like said. At least they caught it

Just to follow up -- finally got the passenger-side inflator replaced with the correct unit this morning. In and out in about 45 minutes.
