other forum posts are suggesting that the fix is possibly going to be as early as August. Ford estimated timing tho…
i spoke with my dealer and they also confirmed the issue. The vehicle in transit will still arrive at the dealer.
Once it arrives, my dealer has agreed to call me to let me know as standard.
Then once the service manager confirms the recall is completed, I’ll get another call letting me know I can schedule my purchase appointment.
The recall doesn’t say dealers can’t process the sale, simply they can’t deliver the vehicle. For those who have processed financing before having the car available, they may be able to work some magic with their dealer.
My dealer advised me to wait until the recall is completed though, to avoid wasting potential days, weeks, months, of the warranty period. (Fair).

Once you get to this point on United Road not much point in calling the NS number anymore. And yes, why is the beginning of their recording always garbled?
Agree, any day now!

Like many others, I have been waiting for nearly a year after placing a deposit. Even with the endless delays, lack of updates and so on, I remained patient. But after today, I really don't know if I even want to move forward with this anymore.
I am disappointed to learn about this recall. To make it worse, I learned not from my dealer or from Ford but from these forums!
At this point, given that there likely won't be an easy fix for months, I think I may have to honestly look at pulling the plug on this whole investment. I test drove a Mach E last year and loved it. I really wanted to enjoy this vehicle, but this whole experience has been so negative that I really am going to look at other options now.

Uh oh, you’re right. Just read the 9 pages. I had a feeling something like this would happen and I kinda wish they’d have had it fixed before I picked up my car. I would guess I’d have to now leave it somewhere to be fixed and I’m sure that will be a bit of a nightmare. I wonder how all of these will get fixed if they need a new HVBJB.

Are you going to buy it? I don’t know what to do. Let’s see what great option my dealer gives me. I hate waiting but I have no choice. But paying them now for the car, or I lose it, would down right suck. Let me know what your options are via the dealer. Good luck.

Been reading here for months now. It’s time to post.
GT order placed 1/25/22; Batch 5303, build week was moved to 4/11/22 from 4/4/22. Went in Production 4/19/22. Original ETA was 6/5-6/11.
Finally received emails that car was Built 6/10/22 and shipped 6/13 with ETA 8/2-8/8 to the dealer.
With this latest recall situation, wondering when it will arrive. Based on the Ford recall website, my VIN is not affected, but I’ve read enough on here to know better. Keeping fingers crossed for all of us in 4/11/22!

Dunno. I'd really rather not buy a car, start the warranty, pay insurance, for it to be undrivable for some undetermined length of time. I'd be OK giving the dealer a (refundable) portion of the deposit now to show that I still want it.

That's interesting. I wonder if the GTs that were held back got the updated part. My vehicle arrives at the dealer today. When I check my VIN it shows up as needing the recall.

Have you contacted ford chat? The VINs haven't been released to the recall website yet. Mine doesn't show anything but ford chat confirms that it is affected by the recall. Considering mine also went into production 4/19 as well, I'd place a heavy bet on yours also being part of the recall.

I think we can assume that the entire 4/11 group is impacted. I confirmed my recall via ETIS and ford chat. A lot of the 4/11 group have not received delivery so a lot of us are going to be faced with some hard choices. Now I am in no rush to get that call from the dealer which means my car will for sure arrive today. There are a few weeks of build groups behind us sitting in KC in the same boat. Everyone else either has possession of their "broken" cars and the current production people are getting cleanly built ones. People bitching they got bumped to June should be dancing a jig.

I think all the GTs that recently received a Built email or haven't received one yet, don't really have anything additional to worry about. The recall is said to only effect cars built before May 25th. Since mine is still at the factory and won't even be here for another 2 months, one would hope they will perform the recall before they ship me the car (which may be why it's taking so long).
