Does anyone know why the June builds are stuck in product “waiting on a chip” when newer builds are completing and being deliverd?

I ordered a Area 51 BS OB OB without moonroof, it was built 6/18 and is just in limbo. My dealer ordered a similarly configured BS after this, just in Cactus Gray and it’s coming in next week.

I’ll jump on that rather waiting more. But I will miss out on several incentives around ordering and what was in place at time of ordering….

It was a coin toss for choosing the color! Love both of them. Actually I don’t think there is a color in this line up that I don’t like. Just how well it hides road salt in winter ?

I was told it is bec for them to bring the June orders back to the plant and put the missing chips in them they have to stop production which they won’t do. The new dealership I’m dealing with told me that those June orders will not be brought back to the plant to be finished until after all 2021 customer and dealer stock orders are completed, then they will bring the June orders back to the plant to finish them and ship them.

Doesn't look like the June units will be getting completed any time soon. But @Ford Motor Company has plenty of parts to build/ship new complete units, including dealer ordered units, while special ordered customer units continue to sit:

The Driving Sports YouTube channel just bought a production Maverick Lariat.
So they are also in full production of Mavericks while the June BS builds sit and rot.

Ford might be having issues again. Their shop ford tracking site cant find my vin in the system anymore. In the 8 months I have been paying attention to how ford does things the only thing consistent thing about ford is that ford is not consistent.

As the newest hot new thing the Maverick might just be given priority over the bronco sport. Customers have already shown they are willing to wait for the sport so no reason for Ford to worry. At some point someone will light a fire under fords hind end and things will happen. Just have to be patient. As the saying goes, "that's why its called faith."
