Side Curtain airbags recall-2nd time was a charm!

[SWFLGulf]

Well, after getting another email from FORD stating that the replacement parts are available-along with constant reminders via my FORD PASS app that I had a safety recall open on my vehicle-, I made anther appointment with the dealer. I was able to get an appointment within 2 weeks. I took photos of the interior the night before because of other posts that reported covers were not placed back properly, fingerprints everywhere and other issues after the work being done. While checking in this morning, the Service Advisor said she noted this was the 2nd time for the same recall. We had a short discussion about it.
That was at 8am. At 12:30pm, she called and stated that the truck was all done. Upon checking it before driving off the lot, I did notice a small smudge of something on the drivers side A post cover. It wiped right off. There were some more small marks on the interior of the windshield also near the A post. Again, they came right off with a little glass cleaner. Most likely they were from the removal & replacement of the A post plastic covers.
So, its done and I have to report that the job was done well and I have no issues with this dealers service department over this recall. Lets see how long it takes for my YETI cup to arrive!

I had no problem with my repair and my Yeti came about three weeks later.

I've never been so excited over free swag as when that Yeti showed up. I didn't think I was going to get one.

Glad yours went well. I hope mine does. Maybe by waiting this long, the mechanics will be better at it. A guy can dream.

I've been waiting 4 months now for my dealer to get the parts. They keep saying they haven't shown up and will call when they do. Have tempted to call a different dealer and see how long for them to get parts. Only problem with that is they are 3-4 hours away.

I just got my truck back, and it's in as good a condition as when I gave it to them. Well, better condition since the airbags are fixed.

I did mention to the guy when I dropped it off that I had heard about people having issues with the pillars being dirty or not reinstalled correctly and the ceiling being dirty/grimy, and I didn't want that. Kind of a nice way of saying, "Please do your job right, so I don't have to be a whiny butt."
