📣 Ford announces MIC hardtop solution (program 21B49): unscheduled orders will get MY2022, delivered & built Broncos will have tops replaced

[Apugh67]

Hi all. We hear you and are working hard on getting you out in the wild in your Bronco as quickly as possible. Depending on your build, we are actively starting to communicate where we are and what we’re doing to make it right. In the meantime, please check out our latest FAQs here: https://ford.to/broncosupport

Thanks for the information. Since my new vehicle has been sitting and will continue to sit for 3 plus months, Also my two trade in vehicles keep aging, I continue to loose money as this roll out keeps slipping. I think some compensation should be considered.

My built Bronco is in the dirt lot video somewhere. I'm not going to go into a full rant but since Ford is on this forum and there is a good chance they will see this message, I just want to say to @Ford Motor Company :

FORD, please just send me my built Bronco with the bad top and I will happily follow the replacement process that you have planned for the delivered Broncos.

If that isn't an option and the Bronco will continue to sit in that dirt lot for next couple+ months waiting for a replacement top, then

Oh boy, you guys need to learn some reading compression skills.....As for Ford? It will get worked out by 2023....Just in time for my painted factory hard top. I'll get all the fixes, upgrades and paint options before it gets built.
Whats the best thing you all can do? Change your configuration to a 2023 and let the suckers deal with first year problems.....

compress all the readings

This is a WIn Win for Ford.. No MIC's for 4 months, can make plenty of 4D soft tops to put on dealer lots, while holding MIC order holds hostage..

Damn, talk about first year model problems.

Same here wholesale change from 2 Dr base-sas to 4 dr badlands sas soft. Neither is perfect but something is better than nothing.

The funny thing is Ford will actually make more money off of me since I'll be buying an accessory hardtop from them and probably paying the dealership to install it in 2023 or whenever those actually come available ...

Well, another year of "Did you get your Bronco yet?"-At least I can keep saving-up for that bigger down payment...if my F-150 can last another year

So Ford's plan is pretty aggressive for new tops...what happens if they run into production issues with them and they slip 60-90 days...they have 2K 2021 Broncos that can't be sold as new because they are 2021MY and those said units are sitting in a dirt lot for 4-6 months?

Bring back an updated FJ, (that you can actually see out of)!

I didn't think the visibility was that much different- Windshield is slightly better (can see stoplights) Rear quarter better... Rear window about the same. Having blind spot monitoring on the Bronco is a huge plus compared to the FJ.

nothing says they can't sell MY2021 cars in 2022

Not really “Homie”. The FAQ says if your date has already passed they will prioritize and replace as they can. Ok, I get that, however, the Awareness Communications Memo says this whole thing only applies to units built between 1/28 and 7/21, thus my question about those built SINCE 7/21.

But thanks for your reply, homie.

The memo you had only applies to vehicles already delivered. Your answer is in the FAQ. Your vehicle will not be delivered until Ford has a good top for it.

• My vehicle build date has passed: No action is required; your vehicle is unfortunately impacted by the above customer satisfaction action and is at Michigan Assembly Plant awaiting a replacement roof. We will prioritize the oldest units first and will send you more detailed delivery timing updates in September based on your VIN.
• My Bronco with a molded-in-color hardtop is scheduled for production: No action is required; your vehicle is unfortunately impacted by the above customer satisfaction action. We need to replace all existing molded-in-color hardtop roofs before we can make any new hardtop Broncos. You’ll be updated via email on your vehicle timing by early October.

Yup, I'm really not sure why anyone thinks these FEs will be worth anything. The only thing special about them is how hard we're getting fucked, and that doesn't exactly increase value

The only thing special about FEs is lightning blue, and black interior.

So because I'm scheduled for production I can't change to a soft top, but because of the issue I'm not really scheduled for production and will get an email telling me I'm screwed sometime in October. NIce!

Yes , it sounds exactly like this for us VIN holders. I really thought that making it under the wire before the end of May was a blessing. It has been nothing but a curse. Three days after the last regular schedule in May and they send out the first constraints and MIC top problems email and leaks. But don't worry, dealer stock and late orders are still gonna get shipped out with soft tops. You, me, and everyone else in the 7/26, 8/16, 8/30, 9/.............. group are still Getting pumped Staying pumped because we are "in line" and commodities have been secured for our builds. S#!^ F%@& D@*^

@Ford Motor Company Why has there been no communication from Ford of Canada?
