Received my Maverick today - wrong door panel/handle (not complaining!) Better Pics

[dennish]

Well today was my day - finally took delivery of my Maverick just about 10 months after order. Couldn't be happier

So far, only one minor problem/warranty issue that I missed at dealer is that all my door handles don't match! For some reason, Hermosillo decided that I didn't want all of my door handles to match on my lariat, so they threw in an orange one for fun on the drivers rear door Can't complain, at least finally got my Maverick.

Anyone else experience this? Will it be an entire door panel replacement or just the handle

Funny situation with the handles; makes it a little unique I guess haha

I would keep it. Automatic conversation starter, if you're Shy.

This is just me, but I would have had a laugh about it and never get it replaced or thought about it again.

Hope I have the same luck! Mines being built 5/23 week. If I got mine middle or early June I’d be estatic

How in the world did they miss that!? Your truck is pre-customized

 

[RonFLA]

Likely someone at the dealership did a little switcheroo…

 

[ShadowChas]

So not whole panel, as you see all the orange stuff can be swapped separately but yes it’s a little funny that they missed at the dealership too

Congrats!
Yes the whole panel. Look carefully you will see the main panel with the orange handle (from XLT) is also whiter than the bronze main panel.

Apologies upfront and I, of all people, appreciate the humor in this situation, but this kind of quality oversight is unacceptable from ANY vehicle manufacturer. If something this obvious yet non-functioning-critical to vehicle operation can be missed all the way to delivery, what else might be lurking that was "missed"? Quality is Job 1 ?

They will order you an entire panel.

They just wanted your back seat drivers to be distracted.

You know,, it's not a big deal.. but if they can make mistakes like this, they can also mismatch something else we can't see.. like a wire, a screw, a bolt size, things that could go unnoticed until it fails.

only explanations i see..
they keep hiring new employees, too much extra overtime , they are under pressure, or simply they ran out of the panel they need, and could not stop the line so they had to push your unit out for delivery with a quick fix. in their mind the destination dealer would just have it changed later.
