Hi Dragon PL, I've gotten two letters from Ford on this. It has to do with your passenger side air bag. I'm not having my car computer reprogrammed because I don't want them messing with my tune. Jack

They reprogram the restraint module not the PCM

its like this. they just flash the module . so it will fix the sensor in the pass seat to turn on and off the airbag when the someone small sits up front like a child. if you don't have it fixed depending on the weight of you spouse/girlfriend. she may go threw the window. so depending on how your relationship is fix it or not it is your choice.

They wont mess with the PCM tune unless they
have some reason to flash the PCM because Ford
tells them to. Better safe than sorry.
