I got a text from my salesperson saying the dealership was able to place an order for a replacement tank late yesterday, so your info about an order being placed may be correct. However, my guy added that there was no way to know when the tank would be delivered to the dealership. I would question the “on the way” part.
I hear ya. Being pushed back since first week of November. Getting excited with photos of my truck being offloaded from transport with a “Merry Christmas” text, then the next day having the rugged pulled out from under me because of the fuel tank. This is my first ever Ford purchase. This thing better be reliable and a good experience from here on out or it is definitely my last Ford.
You cannot trust the Ford site or the NHTSA site. My truck still doesn’t show up on either site but is sitting at the dealership waiting on a replacement fuel tank.
I don’t show up on Ford or NHTSA site either, but when I called my dealership service department last month right after the recall rumor first surfaced, they were able to look up my VIN in their internal Ford database and confirmed that my VIN was subject to the recall. I suggest for you to contact your dealer.
Good Luck Man and congratulations - I'm awaiting the same call/text from my dealer. It's encouraging to read post that some owners are getting this issue resolved. Seen several on Reddit and now this site.
May I ask what city your dealer is in? My dealer told me to get the city of anyone who got their tank to try and get mine in quicker. Truck i put 2.5k miles on has been hostage with the dealers since Dec 21...
Good to see a few people starting to take delivery, still waiting on word from my dealer on parts.
Yes, lots. Have seen about the same number of posts about people getting inspected and released than inspected and held when I read all over the forum. But there are even more people waiting to be inspected awaiting bolts. But I imagine a lot of those people just haven't updated the bolts came in and their Mavericks inspected.
