[Slyder]

I had to look after seeing y'all getting bumped.

so, uh, am I the only one who got bumped to week of 4/3 instead of 4/24?

I'm holding steady for 4/10 so far.

Hi all,

Just checked my order status using the backdoor link and I'm now 4/24 production week. I was originally 4/3 and then bumped to 4/10 and I guess now 4/24. I haven't gotten an official email about the change, just noticed the change on the backdoor link.

This is exactly what happened to me. I just checked the backdoor link, now 4/24.

I'm curious how many of you that got bumped have the manual transmission? I'm wondering if it's to do with the manual transmission issue they're having?

Well, I no longer show scheduled in the tracker. No dear John email from Ford this time.

Pretty much all of us Heritage are manual transmissions and I'll gladly accept getting pushed back if they truly have a fix on the assembly line vice playing dealer tag. Last I heard was manual scheduling won't pick back up until July, now whether we are getting the old batch and they're getting a new improved is unknown.

Will the schedule pushing back help you some? Even if it's on time it'll be June/July before it shows up at the dealer.

Not too optimistic 🫥

The main reason there won't be any more manuals scheduled until Q3 is because they just over-scheduled a zillion manuals. (And two zillion Base model Broncos).

Nearly everyone I know who has been through this before got bumped half a dozen times. I just expect more date changes as Ford fine-tunes which parts for my Bronco are going to be available when, how many workers are available, how many shifts they will run on which days.

I also think that we might even go through more bumping than usual as Ford just scheduled a ton of Broncos from the backlog of reservation holders, and probably none of these are 4-door non-Sasquatch basic build soft tops. And a ton of the new VINs are manuals of which Ford normally doesn't produce too many. So there is going to be a lot of supply chain roulette this quarter.

Also, I think the auto tranny has more serious issues right now than the manual mystery noises. The auto was on recall and DO NOT SELL orders for the not-going-into-park issue. I think that is a way more serious issue.

Some of the 3/27 folks got bumped back to 4/3. It just a matter of time before some of us 4/10 folks get bumped to 4/17.

I went from 3/27 to 4/3 to 4/17 and now back to 4/3.

Did any of the people that got bumped from 4/10 to 4/24 actually get an email stating that, or did you just see it on the backdoor link?

I did not get email for either of my bumps. Only for the original notice I had build date.

I got an email for the first bump but not the second one.

 

[RBF 1401]

Me, too...
Email for the first bump. But only saw the bump to 4/24 on the backdoor.
