Happy to share with those whose initial Delivery has been held up by this - hang in there, my airbags are being installed today, and Iām finally taking it home tomorrow.
@LastDog I got the call - remaining parts arrived today, and I should take delivery Friday morning. Finally our week is here. Enjoy getting yours tomorrow!
@LastDog stopped by my dealer today to check status of my airbags.
They got one. Not one pair, one airbag. You just canāt make this upā¦. not sure if my glass is half full or half empty.
Good luck with that inquiryā¦. I stopped by my dealer on Tuesday and was told the order for the parts was in, but they had no idea of ETA of delivery of them, I did see someone else on the board get told ā3 weeksā by another dealer⦠but who knows at this point. Just more waiting.
@LastDog get to your dealer and sign a Bill of Sale - new post today from Tim showing the parts are available!!

@LastDog dare I say a glimmer of HOPE?
Just got a call from my dealer, who said if I come down and sign a bill of sale today, they can send it to Ford first thing tomorrow, which will cause Ford to expedite the parts, and I could possibly get my truck some time NEXT WEEK!
Is that light at the...
No, I didnāt, just a special torture for you, lol. My current pain is the friends and family that reach out asking me about it, expecting that Iāve taken delivery, and the aghast looks when I recount this saga for them.
But, trying to stay positively focused that while this extended wait is...
That is a fantastic idea, Iām going to try that too - they donāt have a lot of room inside, and I think thereās a pretty Mustang there now, so I doubt it, but couldnāt hurt to askā¦
I copied this when I was at the dealer which is probably what yours was looking at as well.
All pretty clear cut, just have to hope that weāre ahead of the crowd when the parts come available⦠and continue suffering in the meantime.
@LastDog glad yours is closer to home. I have driven by mine a few times, as the dealer is 3 miles away, I freaked out the first time it wasnāt in the same spot, but then saw theyād moved it to put the lisc plate frame on the front bumper. I didnāt like seeing someone had wiped the dirt off...
Iāve seen other threads about this issue in the Recalls part of the forum, and we are far from alone in getting the short end of the stick. Fordās stick only seems to have short ends.
The part that is really making me insane is that our trucks sat in Mexico for 2+ months waiting for the chips...
@LastDog I just checked. It also says no recalls there⦠Just sent a screenshot to my salesman to see if thereās any wiggle room or loophole, will let you know what they say. Let me know if your dealer makes any headway thereā¦
