AFFECTED VEHICLES
Certain 2005 through 2008 model year Mustang vehicles built at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant from
April 22, 2005 through January 31, 2008. Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS. In addition, for a
list of vehicles assigned to your dealership, visit
https://web.fsavinlists.dealerconnection.com. This
information will be available on February 22, 2008.
REASON FOR THIS COMPLIANCE RECALL
The affected vehicles do not comply with one of the neck injury requirements specified in Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208 - Occupant Crash Protection for an unbelted 5
th
percentile female sitting in the passenger seat while it is in the full forward position.
SERVICE ACTION
Dealers are to reprogram the Restraint Control Module using IDS (Integrated Diagnostic System) that
is updated with release (R53.7) P16 or later. This service must be performed on affected vehicles at
no charge to the vehicle owner. Do not demonstrate or deliver affected vehicles that remain in your
new vehicle inventory until this compliance recall has been completed.
NOTE: Owners are encouraged to have this recall performed as soon as possible. Until this recall is
performed,
the vehicle owner can eliminate any real world risk associated with this
noncompliance by making certain the front seat passenger wears the safety belt and positions
the seat rearward, away from the airbag.
PLEASE NOTE
:
Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered
to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty
of up to $6,000 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.
