Sorry if this is old news.

Thanks for posting it!

This is the first I heard about it.....

Now I get to see if I get a letter...

 

I just read that article, too. Pisses me off to read all the negative comments posted about Ford. I know Ford is in now way perfect, but at least Ford recognizes their faults and posts the recall. More than we can say about some other makers.

 

Mine was built in Norfolk, but in March 2004. Before the dates the story mentioned.

 

Great! Thanks for posting.
On my next oil change, I am going to have them run the VIN and check of any recalls, then have it all fixed.

 

Nice. That is the assembly plant where mine was built and is most likely going to be the timeframe as well.

 

I will just wait for the letter.

 

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

 

"Ford spokesman Wes Sherwood said in a statement Wednesday that the recall covered trucks built at the Norfolk, Va., assembly plant from November 2004 through June 2005."

My '05 was built in Norfolk on July 26, 2005. This is after the recall covered dates mentioned.

By the way, I never had any problem with the air bags or the warning light.

 

Dearborn, MI as well...

I just heard this within the hour on CNN and looked first here on our site to see if recall info was available, but it wasn't. I called Ford's 800 customer service number and eventually found that even their people were not yet aware of this recall. I was able to give them my VIN and find that there are no other open recalls on my truck (06 Lariat) but this airbag recall was news to them.

They pointed me to www.flmowner.com as a website where anyone can run their VIN number to check on recalls. The Ford customer service woman did say the recall could be date specific, plant specific, etc. etc. that just because the media reports a recall of "05 and 06 model F150s" doesn't mean everyone's truck is involved.

Finally she told me to wait at least a couple days before trying the above website because the info is still so new...

 

does that tell the build date or do you still look in door sill?
mine is an 04 built in dearborne.

 

 

Well i'm gonna call my dealership tommorow and see if I can get it in for the recall.

 

They recognize this because they have to. If it weren't a safety issue I would have to second guess this recal.. As much as I am NOT a Toyota fan I do feel that they do a better job at trying to rectify issue with their trucks. I am not running to my local Toyota dealer to buy a Tundra so please don't flame me. Just giving my opinion
