Deysha was informing you that the recall has not been performed yet. That is a recall that you do not want to delay - it's part of the Takata worldwide screw-up. I'm going out on a limb here but it's quite possible that part is available locally to you. It was used in numerous vehicles which is why, quite literally, millions of airbags are being recalled.
Takata's problem appears to be their choice of propellant.

I was under the impression that the parts were not necessarily vehicle specific.

Hi Deysha,
Thanks for your help. I had the air bag recall done at my local Ford dealership yesterday.
I think its the first to be done in the UK
I would not have known if you had not alerted me.

UK dealerships are taking orders now, and they are expecting deliveries in the autumn, this year.
You may like to look at this article, and compare the differences between the USA and European specifications.

The suspension is one of the main things that's been changed for our twisty bumpy roads.
Only time will tell how well they sell over here. Of course a lot of people will say that a right hand drive Mustang , looses some of its charm !

I went on a Baltic cruise last year to Sweden, Helsinki, Russia, Estonia, and Latvia. I thought it was cool seeing Mustangs in Sweden and Helsinki. I was disappointed that I didn't see a Mustang in St. Petersburg or Moscow, but saw a Camaro instead (and H2 Hummers and Tahoes). In Estonia and Latvia, I saw a Harley Davidson F150 and a couple of Dodge Ram trucks!
