Same thing happened with the BA Falcon when it was released, side airbags were going off but Ford resolved it in a matter of months...

There was also an Issue with an ECU niggle that caused the Very early BA XR6T's to switch off while in heavy driving conditions. That was fixed easy with an ECU Flash on the next scheduled service of the respective affected cars.
