Gotcha. Thats the only airbag I have anyways... My driver one got deployed in a fender bender and didn't have the money for the deductible.

I believe the recall pertains to the passenger side airbag only. It's been awhile...

I looked it up yesterday. It was for the passenger side and had issues IF the person was short or was a child AND didn't have their seat belt on.. which is stupid in the first place..

It's a harmless and easy recall. I took mine in, and it took all of 15 minutes to complete.

At the dealership I go to they do care a lot about the owners cars, especially Mustangs. They have a huge pull in enclosed area that can hold about 9 cars at a time. I pull in, see the lady I always deal with, she gets her crew right on it. They cover the whole seat in plastic as well as putting in card board mats.
The garage they work in, has a big glass window across so you can watch your car being worked on. When they bring it back around, the guy even has a Microfiber cloth he uses to open and shut the door. I drive past 3 Ford dealerships (25 miles one way) just to get to this one. To me it is well worth it! A local Mustang Club meets there every month in one of the waiting areas called "Mustang Annie's." The whole room's decor is of Mustang nostalgia.
