Well, about one month ago, my airbag light came on, then off, then on, then off... then staued on... My truck, is an 05, built in Norfolk.
Question, how long do I wait to contact them, obviously, my truck is in the first couple stages before it goes pop. I have seen people who have had an airbag go off in their face, it aint pretty.

Also, from the owner manual:
Air bag readiness: If this light fails
to illuminate when ignition is turned
to ON, continues to flash or remains
on, have the system serviced
immediately by your authorized
dealer. A chime will also sound when a malfunction in the supplemental
restraint system has been detected.

Don't wait. Bring it in ASAP.

Can my servicing dealer run the VIN to see if my truck falls under the recall ?

also, let me rephrase my question... How long after a recall is announced, can you take it in... I called my local Ford dealer and they said they know nothing of the recall and that I can bring the truck in, but I'll be charged for the repair, if something is found wrong. So, now that Ford did say, yup, we got a problem, does it become entered in whoevers system to recognize the recall?

mines an 07, i squeak by. made their stock dip down. not happy about that, i bought it at 16 bucks.
ill never understand why gm is up in the 30s and were down in the teens as far as stock price. gms stock has done nothing but drop since its IPO at 38 now its in the low 30s
