It's a six week delay for quality checks.
Farley added that FoMoCo plans to continue to hold refreshed and redesigned models for up to six weeks after production begins to give it time to conduct these quality checks to ensure that those products don’t wind up being subjected to pricey recalls after deliveries begin. The CEO also noted that this problem has ballooned into a rather pricey one for the automaker – costing it upwards of $4.8 billion annually – though in the short term, he admits that “our earnings may be a little lumpy” as a result.

I would have thought the hold back is because there looks to be a lot of inventory still sitting on the lots at least at the Ford dealers I pass by. Mavericks, full size Broncos and Bronco Sports all lined up and available.

How many Mavericks do you want to buy?
Between the 2 dealers I was referring to they have 45 on the lot with more in transit.
