Default Ford Recalls 470,000 Mustangs ...
For being too slow is the first thing that comes to my mind ... but it is actually a safety concern with the passenger air bags and little peeps

There is a reason they say that the safest place for a child under the age of 12 is in the back seat....

I don't know if you were serious. He probably means it didn't activate when someone was sitting in the seat. A lot of new cars have passenger airbags that are only activated and ready for deployment when someone is sitting in the seat.

+1...
that was pretty much my only complaint about the car. I also found out if you're going WOT it will sometimes turn the airbag off too
