So I just talked to my friend that works at Michigan assembly Plant and he told me they are still currently waiting on semiconductor chips which is not really the main issue. they’re also having a shortage of airbags. The airbags that were placed in the Broncos (1/24-26/22)are faulty so on top of the semiconductors being faulty the airbags are faulty as well. So this is why probably people that were built during those days are not seeing much movement.
This is good to know, I'm okay with waiting for airbags to work appropriately. Not sure why Ford can't communicate this.

I am curious if your friend has any insight into the size of the crews established to make these replacements/installs as the parts are available. How many are allocated to ice mountain vs new line vehicles? So many questions!!!

My thoughts exactly I mean instead of us over here guessing or getting pissed at them they should be straight up front with us and let us know.

Would LOVE to know why those of us with blend dates of 1-24, 25, and 26 are seemingly being left out to dry (freeze).

Obviously it's slow for everyone, but there is essentially NO movement for those 3 blend date Broncos.
I’m a 1/27 blend and have seen no movement since it went into production either. :(

Good question. Also I would think with us 24 to 26ers, they would have to bring these Broncos indoors to do the airbag repair right? Not a field plug and chug

Oh yeah and tell your friend thank you. Amazing how the truth can set one free.

Well if I had a faulty air bag I guess that makes a lot of sense!
On another note, can I get your friends venmo handle so I can ‘convince’ them to find my bronco on ice mountain and send me a picture lol!

Just ask him the questions as well just waiting on a reply, it might be late tonight or maybe tomorrow morning before he can answer me , because I do know that he had a hockey game today.

Great minds think alike because I already asked him if he can locate my bronco and send me pictures of it and he told me he couldn’t because he can lose his job. Lol
