I called Ford and they said 4/25 build week but the dealership is saying 5/9 build week, so no idea who to believe. Didn’t get offered a $1k promo code though

Just got my weekly email moving me from 3/21 to 3/28. Originally 2/14. Hopefully someday.

Unfortunately, none of us forum members are the ones grabbing the dealer orders.

Just checked the tracker and mine is now listed as “In Production”. Original build date was 2/14.

Please tell me this is not going to further affect the production of my Timberline - its already about 6-7 weeks behind the original production date.................



TOKYO: Japanese chipmaker Renesas Electronics and component maker Murata Manufacturing Co both suspended some operations on Thursday (Mar 17) after an earthquake jolted the country's northeast, in the latest blow to the global auto supply chain.

Renesas, which has been plagued by past stoppages, has emerged as a critical chokepoint for global automakers.

It makes nearly a third of the microcontroller chips used in cars around the world. Murata is one of the world's top suppliers of the ceramic capacitors used in smart phones, computers and cars.

While neither is a household name in the West along the lines of a Sony Group or a Panasonic, they are examples of the many Japanese firms that have retained dominance in highly specialised technology even as the country's might in consumer electronics has diminished.

Renesas said it had temporarily halted production at two semiconductor plants and partially stopped output at a third.

Among them was its advanced 300mm wafer Naka plant in Ibaraki prefecture, which supplies semiconductors to auto companies around the world that have already had to curb output because of chip shortages resulting from COVID-19-related disruptions.

"We are assessing the impact of the earthquake on our overall supply chain," it said in a statement, adding workers were assessing damage at the plant including in the sensitive clean rooms.

A fire at the Naka plant last year hit production for months and reverberated across the industry.

Ford Motor Co said as much as 80 per cent of its lost vehicle production in the second quarter of last year was due to the Renesas plant fire.

Murata said it had suspended operations at four factories following the quake and that a fire had broken out at one producing chip inductors for smartphones and cars, it said. The fire was later extinguished, it said.

Hello folks, I'm confused. I see most have vins. I still don't even have that. My original order was in September for a '21 stealth package. I obviously never received so in January it was "officially" moved to a '22 stealth. All I have is an email from ford confirming the '22 order saying congratulations and I'm an early order for the '22 blah blah blah. Went to dealer again Monday and they say just that the order was confirmed and that's it. Any ideas? This vehicle in essence has been ordered since September! Thanks for any insight someone might have.

The 21 order and 22 order are technically separate, so your recent order is only since January. Orders haven’t been picked up for scheduling for about 5 weeks and those that were picked up have gotten pushed. According to this forum and others the latest scheduled order is late April / early May and they seem to schedule 4-5 weeks out. I’m guessing they may pick up some orders next week but might be two weeks from now.

You can push your dealer to up your priority or even argue for a 2-9 priority code since your 21 got pushed to the new model year. Alternatively there are some stealths on dealer lots that you could buy now if you don’t like the wait. Unscheduled currently won’t see their vehicle till very late May or June earliest.

Mine was scheduled for production next week (3/21) and now shows in production rather than scheduled and the window sticker has populated.

saw your previous comments and did a rough search in your area, not sure what options you were shooting for but this is pretty much fully spec'd out.

Mine was ordered Dec 13 and was in production for the past 3-4 weeks. As of today it is "produced" and has been "sent offsite" to wait for shipment to the great white north. My ETA is April 20.

Similar to you, mine has been in production since March 7. Hoping next week it ships.

Preliminary schedule on BOF says next Thursday scheduling for May 2, 9, 16, and 23. Really good news and many of us should hopefully move into scheduled status. May the odds be ever be in your favor.

What does the date at the bottom of the window sticker mean?

NB232 N RE 2X 225 000017 02 23 22

Does this mean mine was built on 02/23/22? I originally ordered a Platinum with DVDs but the dealer called me back and said it would takes about 8 months, because they were not making the platinums and the DVDs were a big question mark. He offered me a Stealth Package that was already on order and should be here in a few weeks, so I said I would go for it. Looks like he was right according to the date on the window sticker.

I ordered on 2/1/22 (Platinum, 4x4, Dark Matter/Carmelo, 600A) and have yet to get a VIN. Hoping with the preliminary schedule I will get a VIN soon.
