Hybrid delays due to brakes

[tmac1945]

I had my Maverick at the dealership today and spoke with a salesman who has a hybrid on order. He said the hybrid’s brakes are another item in short supply and causing delays.

Have yet to read a post on MTC where a salesperson knew more accurate information than what you can find here.

If yours is correct, it will be a first. Good luck.

He is correct. Dealers can pull a report that gives "reasons" why vehicles weren't scheduled. Some are hard to make sense of. But they do list constraints for unscheduled vehicles. I just checked our report - brakes are listed as plant constraint for the Hybrid Mavericks, but not the EBs.

I'd suspect the electric brake assist that all the hybrids have. Might also affect the EcoBoost Lariats w/ Luxury Pack that also include it?

That sounds right. The note does say W/ELCT BRK BOST. We don't have any EB Lariats on order, so I don't know about those for sure, but you are likely correct.

@fordvideoguy Are you seeing the same hybrid brake constraint?

The Hybrid needs a special vacuum booster for the brakes. Most vehicles get the vacuum from the engine but a hybrid can't count on the engine always running to provide the vacuum.

The Lariat Lux also needs this special brake boost since it's needed to control complete stops under adaptive cruise control.

This has been a problem in the past and is probably part of the reason for the 40% hybrid constraint. See a post here back on Jan 14. https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/f...ints-from-long-mcarthur-ford.8205/post-169629

I don't like to look at the constraint items on orders in WBDO because if you look at a hybrid it'll have about 5 different options that it's saying it's constrained but they all are related to the hybrid.

Sorry if this has been stated before on here but do EB actually get scheduled quicker than Hybrids? The only reason I ordered a EB was because my sales rep said an EB would only be a 4-5 month lead time. I ordered it 3 months ago and still do not have a scheduled build date.

Yes, most of the time EB gets scheduled much quicker than hybrids.

Is it true segment?

Just my weekly Thursday afternoon chiming in to remind Ford and everyone that I ordered June 10th and still haven't been scheduled yet. Other than this whole brake thing, I have no restraints listed. Remember when Ford said recently that they were going to build trucks in the order of who ordered first?

Wheres my notice Ford? I know you have my ordered. Been calling every other week since November and you keep confirming I'm still good to go. If I don't a notice by the end of today, you latest message was a lie.

so you ordered in January? I ordered middle December and haven't been scheduled either- but that was expected. There's people with orders from months earlier than mine also not scheduled too. There was a few people reporting here of getting built in as little as 3 months with later order dates- but that is the exception- not normal. You should probably re-calibrate expectations of what sales rep said and expect minimum time just to get scheduled of 4-5 months. Then add another couple months for actual production and shipping.

Ordered our Maverick Hybrid XL Oct. 23rd. Spray bed liner and full-sized spare are the only options we chose. We got the popular metallic gray color and standard cloth seats. Tried to ask as little as possible to avoid all this mess! No scheduled build date or VIN number yet. We have a buyer for our current 2007 Edge, and we're hoping this buyer will wait with us!

Have you called Ford directly? You maybe scheduled but not notified yet. This is what I found for my July order. I haven't received anything from Ford through email. I did however get my build date and VIN. Build date 5/16/22
