I had a 06/07 build week. Sometime today it changed to 01/07/2021 in Ford.com. That’s 2 weeks before I ordered.

I can’t believe these are entered individually. They must somehow batch them.

Anybody else?

Unless the system is set up with European date format. That would mean it was moved up from 6 July to 1 July.

You scared the ? out of me for a second but the original email was written out “June 7”.

That still doesn’t explain 01/07 though. Somebody somewhere obviously made a typo. I just wonder what they really meant.

It couldn’t just be me. Could it?

Mine changed today also - it was build week 5/31/2021 and now 1/31/2021.
Seems to be a glitch in the matrix.

The date format for pretty much everyone other than the United States is DD/MM/YYYY. Thus, 01/07/2021 is 1 July 2021 in that format. Given @bcraven01 post, I would say that there is some sort of data entry error, given that there aren't 31 months in a year.

That doesnt explain a build date moving from 5/31/2021 to 1/31/2021
seems like the month change to January on both of these builds but the day and month stayed the same.

Yeah, that's why I said that given your post it seems like a data entry error.

I think we can stand down from general quarters. Seems like a simple typo entered into some sort of macro or batch script.

If our new Ford friends read this thread, somebody probable got a text or email saying “What the heck did you do?”.

I had the same experience, build went from 5/17 to 1/17 and the ETA dropped out. Seems as though someone is trying a software update on the scheduling routine...

I had noticed that my build date changed from 6/7/21 to 1/14/21. Yesterday I received an email saying my build date has been pushed back to the week of June 14th.

I didn’t get that email, yet. I wonder if that means my original June 7th date is safe? It still says 1/7.
