I believe so, but I'm not really sure where the dash panel is located. There's no wiring or anything hanging anywhere that immediately caught my attention. I could also be looking in the wrong spot. ??‍♀
Open your passenger side door and duck your head right under your glove box. Should be a black panel covering all the internal bits.

I would say that Ford’s definition of “In Production” is different than it actually moving down the assembly line. Your husband is correct, that once

So, it is missing, but I also don't see a huge issue with that. The floor comes up so high that you dont even notice, but can feel where the top portion would clip/connect. Unless anyone in the forum has a good reason why it's needed... I know my boyfriend definitely wants to get the engine cover. Which I'll have to ask my dealer about.

It's probably not a problem unless it accidentally gets kicked. I've bumped mine a time or two when my boyfriend is driving and I'm in the passenger seat with my legs crossed. Not sure what it looks like underneath or how fragile the wiring is, but that's the only thing I can think of. Your dealer should order you a replacement for free if you want to mention it with the engine cover, but probably no biggie if not.

I would say that Ford’s definition of “In Production” is different than it actually moving down the assembly line. Your husband is correct, that once a vehicle starts down the assembly line it only takes a few hours to get through. I think you get the “In Production” status during the week that your vehicle will be built.
That makes sense. My production was scheduled for week of 9/19, and the tracker showed that it officially went into production on 9/24.

Hopefully once it is built, it will get right on a train and leave the factory. Not like a big group of us that have been waiting about 30 days +/- to see the “Shipped” status.
Looks like I'm going to find out soon because the tracker is showing it was built yesterday. ?

I would not be too concerned. Ford calls it an Insulation Panel as it has a bit of insulation on it. Most likely to reduce the noise from the fan. It does very little to protect anything as the wires are not covered in any case. It is easy to install but a pain to uninstall of you do not have one of the little tools to remove the push pins. That would be my only complaint if you need access to your internal fuses, the panel has to be removed.

@Meanderthal Do me a favor and use Ford's Bronco Sport inventory search to see if your dealer is expecting more dealer ordered Sports to ship out. Just used the tool and my tiny little hometown dealer has 4 Sports all built within the last month that haven't hit the lot yet, one as recent as built 2 days ago. That indicates to me they're all waiting to ship just like mine is. Wondering if grouping mine with the dealer ordered inventory to cut costs is a potential reason I haven't shipped yet. If you dealer has Sports coming, that could be a contributing factor.

I see 5 with "Dealer Ordered" and 7 in stock.

I got the following message from them after poking them for information:
We have had a lot of vehicles that are on hold. Ford doesn’t update us very well.
I’ve sent a email to my rep and asking him to mark it hot.

Wonder if it would be too forward of me to ask my salesman to do the same...

Called Ford and my BS is in Chicago, so any day now I should have it as I live around the area.

Tracing for my Bronco Sport states it departed a rail yard in the south suburbs of Chicago yesterday (2 miles from my parent's house), and it won't arrive at it's destination in western suburbs until tomorrow. Frustrating. ??‍♀ I wish they would just put it on a truck. So. So. Close.

Same, I just wish they’d put it on the truck and bring it to me already. My situation has changed where my folks are buying my Escape instead of me trading it in, since theirs got totaled a couple of weeks ago. They’re without a car currently and we’re waiting on this to come in to get everything shuffled around. I’m getting VERY impatient ?

I swear. UP is not going to deliver my rail car to the Auto yard until exactly 2am tomorrow morning (which is the ETA that they gave me) and it’s been up there since Tuesday. I just think they we’re waiting for Adamcw and KatieF34 to catch back up and we can all get off loaded together since we all started the journey together in Mexico.

Let’s hope they just catch up and not pass you!
