Recalls for 2005 Roush Mustang Gt

DEFECT #1 - AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE

Posted on: 2005-06-14
Description
On certain altered passenger vehicles equipped with roush leather seat packages, the occupant classification system (ocs) sensor system can intermittently deactivate the passenger air bag and illuminate the dash display showing passenger airbag deactivated while the vehicle is operating.

Consequence
In certain crash conditions, the passenger's air bag may not deploy, increasing the risk of injury to a seat occupant.

Corrective Action
Roush is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign.  Roush will replace the passenger side seat cushion with a service pack.  The service pack will contain a stock seat cushion and an ocs that has been properly calibrated for the installation of leather seat covers.  Roush will then recover the passenger seat cushion with a different leather, and will also modify the driver's side seat cushion with a matching foam and leather for asesthetic reasons.  The recall began on september 6, 2005.  Owners may contact roush at 1-800-597-6874.
