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 fixed it at my local ford dealer...it took about 10 minutes and was super easy...i had enough time to look at an 08 bullit and an 09 gt500 KR which was swwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttttttttttt tttt

but only 96k

haha the car salesman told me to ask for my pay in advance and i could come buy it....

i then replied, for the next 5 years? haha

but anyway

super fast and super easy

and now i dont have to worry about my girlfriend and my passenger airbag!

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.
