Ford Hermosillo [Maverick] plant production will be suspended 2 days due to materials shortage

[Darnon]

I guess this might explain why some folks with builds originally scheduled for next week got shifted.

Well that sucks. Though not really a shocker these days.

If we figure out what builds for those 2 days had in common that isn't in the ones that got started early we would know what is missing.

No parts no EPA no honesty no HYBRID
My dealer went on vacation when I asked why my delivery date, 10/13 disappeared and why no EPA numbers. This truck is getting a little sketchy like the bronco.

Hopefully it will only be a two day hiccup and not extend further or occur again.

You're buying a new model truck in the middle of a pandemic with a labor and part shortage that has never been seen before. The Bronco's issue is related to their supplier for their MIC tops along with waiting for chips.

I just don't get how this is "sketchy". It's just the unfortunate world events were in right now

Well, whatever the reason, that makes sense as to why 10/11 builds (me) got delayed.

The parts are sitting on a ship anchored off the coast of Long Beach, CA.

That article is saying they will shutdown this coming Monday and Tuesday though. Many people including myself had build dates this week but it appears that most are stuck in the production stage. This sounds like it’s going to be a long term issue. I work for a different OEM and we have been stopping production at least one day a week for lack of parts too. Sign of the times. Unfortunately

Mine sat in the "in production" stage until I got the shipped email was that Saturday was built on a Tuesday

This Ford's "just in time delivery" in action. Saw it when I worked for them. No stock in inventory and if the truck, train, or ship is late, stop the line and send the workers home.

Mine is in production, dealer told me it’s building tomorrow

I sorry did I hit a nerve? Ford dodged the EPA questions and I get no response or a response I know not to be accurate. Last I checked and keep in mind I am old, if you’re not a straight shooter your sketchy.

Once again sorry if I upset you.

Same here. Let's hope we both get that "built" email.

I sure hope so but my dealer, Chapman, said it may take a few days to update especially on a Friday.
