I received a recall for both my drivers and passenger air bags. I have gotten the driver side replaced, but my passenger side it still yet to be done. I called Ford and was placed on a waiting list. I've been on the waiting list for over 2 years now. I called Ford again and they said that they can't do anything about it. I am unable to sell/trade my car while the recalls are pending.
