Is there an update on when these parts will be available? We received a letter on this almost a year ago notifying us of the problem but have not had any followup since. It seems like a long time to let something that can potentially cause a death go on. Please advise.

In reply to Andrew Ratermann.

Dealers will usually provide a rental car, until recall is done.

I have been informed by my local Ford dealer that there are no available parts to remedy this defective part. Also that the passenger air bag cannot be deactivated while we wait for the parts. The recall states that the defect can result in injury or death. If a passenger dies in my car as a result of this defect, what is my liability, what is Fords liability? Does Ford have alternate cars available, or other substitute transportation available to customers while we await corrected parts?
