05/23/22 Build Week Chat

[Bullitt]

Notified shipped today. ETA July 4 - 10 to Atlanta, GA. Batch 6074 187/305. Premium RWD.

Wow, 3 weeks, that'll be impressive if yours is that quick. Previously the fastest transit I've heard was 4 weeks at best.

Build 6/13, ship date doesn't show, I just realized the delivery estimate is from the build email

Mine was built 6/15, but not yet shipped. The Ford site shows estimated delivery 8/6-8/12 in the Bay Area. I haven't received an email yet.

Wow another Bay Area order taking 2 months to ship. I guess that’s the norm.

Batch 6074 211/305. Built 5/27, shipped later that night. ETA to NC 7/16-7/22. I’m tempted to have the kind member track it for me, I said I wouldn’t. ??‍

My vin is showing no recall and build delayed a week to 5/23 and built on 5/27.

If comfortable posting your VIN, it could help discern which VINs have been fixed and which will be subject to recall or stop sale. Of course, Ford will publish VINs subject to recall when they notify owners in middle July.

I'm hoping this tracking continues...I don't need to rely on the railroad trackers being correct...Apparently Ford says my car has shipped, but I know it's still waiting to be placed on the train...

MAY THE FORD BE WITH YOU

Is it possible to track it before it's in the States? I haven't had any luck with the CSX tracking, I have no idea what company its with currently, just the rail car number.

Kansas City Southern moves the MME units from Lecheria (near the Cuautitlan Plant & Mexico City) to Kansas City crossing the border at Laredo. Tracking - no. Passing these "checkpoints" - yes, although it's unclear how "current" the info is. I believe Ford.com/chat can tell you, but my weak memory makes me suggest others will have better info.

Thanks for offering. Another forum member already checked and my dealer has also checked. Looks like I’m good. Suppose to be delivered in next 1-3 days.

I love you right now!!!

We'll see. I'm not placing any bets. ;-)

Thanks for the info and map. Is there an average time frame for how long it takes it to get into the States after it ships? Just trying to figure out when I should start attempting to track it.

Wow, it's pretty impressive how many of you will likely have your vehicles about a month after they were built. That's a lot faster than I was expecting, given reports from others.

It's also impressive how this thread is so split. Seems like half of us are anticipating delivery in the next 1-2 weeks, and the other half are still leaving the factory. Mine is still stuck in production... I feel like, given the extra 3-6 weeks needed for the boat ride, I'm going to be writing updates to myself on this thread by the time it's finally coming in

It's because of the recall. Since this week was split in 2 (23 and 24 before the recall cutover), folks receiving the car already had cars built before the recall and will sit on the dealer until the software update is available.
Then the factory stopped for approximately 3 weeks because of the recall drama, and only restarted with building cars this week.

The fix began on the line for vehicles in progress on May 25 or 26 but definitely by the 27th when my ER AWD Premium was built. GLTA.

The delay of weeks is not in agreement with the fix being just software. Seems if it was only software, the line would have kept producing vehicles - sounds like a part change also with limited pieces available. Restocking / substituting parts would normally take weeks. Unfortunately, once a unit moved through the line with the old part, it was parked as it is hard to put a unit in line for a part that is out of sequence.
