I'm with you too. Although for some reason I don't have the notice that my vehicle has been in that status for more than 3 days (it has). I'm batch 5154 (Premium SR RWD). Also, my window sticker hasn't updated since 3/31/22.

Yeah, very strange. If you don't see any movement by the end of the week it may be worth reaching out to your dealer to see if the Vehicle Visibility Report (VVR) can tell you anything. Often they are willing to share this info. Sometimes the information in the VVR is vague or out of date but I think it's really the only thing that can help provide more info as to what's going on.

I should add that others have had success getting info from the VVR via Ford Chat, if you don't want to bother your dealer. Also, have you tried accessing your window sticker from a different browser or computer? I've had an older version of my window sticker pop up only to have a newer one pop up on a different computer. Strange stuff.

Thanks for the tips. I tried to use Ford chat and they couldn't access the VVR. They were only able to tell me that the order had been submitted to the production plant and there are no holds on it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . They recommended calling the Ford support line or the dealer.

CA rt1 indicates its been shipped. No reference to Active Park Assist Prep Kit or credit on window sticker, but see Prep Kit in Ford Order Tracking page. Anyone else in same boat? Hope they update the window sticker, so not an issue getting credit with dealer.

I would trust the window sticker more, as what's in the tracker seems to vary person to person and include errors. For example, the Ford tracker seems to think this is the shade of black onyx that will appear in my vehicle:

Not a single person in our build week has reported the prep kit on their window sticker so far, so I am assuming that we managed to squeak through with it in place. (Only folks who wouldn't have it to begin with are base selects and GT's without Blue Cruise).

Officially Ford wasn't going to swap in the prep kit until Job 2 of the 22 MY started (May 2) but folks in earlier/later build weeks are reporting the prep kit getting swapped in on their window stickers-- so maybe it was more of an 'as needed' swap until then, based on available chips.

Anyway, with that all said, maybe check again when you take delivery (and keep an eye on the weekly window sticker update in the meantime), but I'd assume that you'll have it if the window sticker doesn't already indicate otherwise.

I'm periodically checking my window sticker online. Last update was 4/9 and it still shows the Active Park Assist feature. That's at least one thing I'll get by "downgrading" from my original Premium order (yet to be scheduled).

Active park assist is still in my sticker, dated 4/9.

? Had to take the eye comfort shield off just to see. Lol. Nope still looks brown to me. Hilarious!!!

 

[CarDreams]

Active park assist is still on my window sticker as well.
