I ordered a 2024 Outer Banks in October, 2023. I heard, a few weeks ago, I won't see it until April-June because of a 'material hold.' Does anyone know why and what that means?
Thanks!

I watch the Long McArthur live streams every week (Tuesday nights, 7pm CST) and think that one recent constraint was for 225/65/17 All Season tires. I had that wrong when I first posted this. I went back and watched one of the recent Scheduling Notes.

Or sun roof....There is something on your order that is constrained. Typically "material hold" is usually an optional add such as fender flares or splash guards.

Agreed. No one keeps "inventory" anymore. Also, with unemployment as low as it is, I have a tough time empathizing with business owners who complain about a lack of staff and employees.Yeah.... being in manufacturing myself... things are NOT back to "normal" and honestly, i wonder if they ever will be. My guess is no, not anytime soon.
We have a few suppliers (spare parts, components, etc..) that are into minimal inventory levels and "Lean Manufacturing", etc... Yeah, it cuts down their waste and carrying cost for inventory but it also creates lead times that are nonsense.
No, you don't necessarily need 1,000 widgets on the shelf, awaiting orders, but you shouldn't have zero either and then tell a customer it's a 6-8 week wait and sometimes longer. So now, instead of relying on a supplier to be there for me when i need it, i have to keep a stock of pretty expensive spares on my shelf hoping that i'll never have to use them. Makes no sense in my head....
Badlands on hold until mid-march at the earliest. And 64v optional wheel for Badlands is exhausted. If it's on your order, it won't get built.I just ordered a 2024 Badlands today. I was told it is on material with no projected delivery date.
Thank you for that information. I ordered the standard wheels. I assume that there are plenty of orders ahead of me so not sure how much of a wait there will be to get it built once production starts back up.Badlands on hold until mid-march at the earliest.
