I assume but I don't know for sure. There was no mention of Takata in the recall letter.
Yes it was. I had mine done the day after the updated recall was issued. I had a part pulled and tagged for when it was convenient. The day after the recall was posted the weather sucked and I couldn't get a close spot to work so I traded not having to park on the street for getting a recall done and my service department getting a good survey.
Sounds like a win, win situation. I'm thinking of getting my coolant flushed while they have it in for the recall since my car is now six years old and is due according to the owner's manual.
How does your dealership do coolant flushes and do you use BG products and if so, what do they do for the engine? My fiancee had her 07 Mustang GT done a few years ago and they used some BG stuff in it.
They use a kit from MOC, basically similar snake oil to BG, and then whatever coolant the vehicle calls for, in our case Motorcraft Orange. I need to do mine at some point, and will probably just do a drain and fill. Look closely at the t-stat housing, that is a common leak spot.
