I could be wrong, but I KNOW my 2005 GT premium did NOT have side airbags...
I don't know what the deal is for 2005, but he has a 2006 GT. My 2006 sales brochure shows side airbags as optional for all models except the V6 Standard.

So that means whoever had it before him must of put another set of seats in. Unfortunately, some that were equipt. with air bags. Thus explaining why his car didn't recognize the side air bags.

I believe that is the original posters information. I am a different person with the same problem I have a 2006 mustang gt and my restraint control module says it was manufactured in 2005 so maybe some 2005's had this feature?

Yes, that was my fail... I didn't even notice that you were bringing this thread back up because you were having a problem... I thought I was replying to the original post creator who did have a 2005...

Sorry about that derailment... anyways, did you find out if there was a recall on those?

Nope no recall on them. I think most people with issues like these go straight to the dealership and get told they need to replace this and that and get stuck with a huge bill and nothing is ever made of it. People should report things like these straight to Ford HQ and NHTSA. I checked the NHTSA and so far I'm the 3rd person to complain about the airbag system but the others were different issues. I am still waiting to see what the insurance company says.

Did you buy your car new? Just wondering if you and the other guy bought cars where the previous owners switched out front seats. I'm not sure if the 2005 or '06 came with side airbags.....maybe someone else can chime in on this or do a Google search.
