Waiting room

Saw this on the Blue Oval Forum - The last day to order a 2021 Bronco Sport was at the end of the day July 26th. Bronco Sports are now on "Balance Out" for 2021. What is "Balance Out"? It means means that the 2021 Balance Out Vehicle production for the BS complete. Essentially, they are in the process of building and scheduling the 2021 orders that have been received. If you want to order a Bronco Sport from now on, it will have to be a 2022 model when the ordering opens up.

Thanks. Says "No Campaign Message(s) found". Wonder if that means they haven't finished building it.

Takes about a week before that data will show up in ETIS from what I read. Sounds like 7/27 is your official Build Date. Hopefully you get a Built and Shipped and bypasses the sitting in yard forever process.

Hi, I’m located in CT and just put my deposit down on a Cactus Gray Sport OB w/ OB Package, Navy Pier, Dash Cam, Rear Safe, Black Plates, Keypad Lock and 360+.

The salesman had great reviews and he assured me of 8-10 weeks (I know that’s not reliable given the unknowns). I obviously didn’t have a moonroof option and would stay clear regardless given that I want this vehicle sooner rather than later. My concern is the 360+ delaying things. I was unaware that there was an issue there - is it chip related? The dealer said he has been selling the vehicle for months and his time frames have always been correct with happy customers (he’s a salesman, I know :/). Anyways, he said I should expect an email from Ford within a day or two an I’ll update the thread when I have something worth mentioning. When I brought up the topic of codes and needing a priority 10 because of the importance of the trade in value and current financing which they obviously won’t honor if change over time. His wanting to get away from the codes conversation makes me think there is nothing special about this order and it will be the lowest priority. Wondering how the ‘22s launch will play into this as well. Crossing my fingers for November. Would love to hear any and all thoughts.

I am one of the lucky ones that ordered late and got my OB built and shipped ahead of others with early order dates. From my experience the dealer has a lot to do with where the order falls in the pecking order. My dealer is a large volume dealer with 7 locations in the region. I ordered the OB with the OB package (minus mooroof), 360+, Tow, CMS, cargo mat. At the time of the order (5/22) he estimated late July build and mid August delivery. Even with a build week delay for factory closure his estimate was right on the money. I also feel the build priority code factors into where the build is put into the mix, but it's not the solo Holy Grail in the process.

Does the little link to the right show up that says "View PTI Information"?

The outstanding field service actions will list the recalls and TSB's based on the VIN you entered. The view PTI information is the link to see the modules installed, it's easy to miss unless you look for it.

My Window Sticker bottom date change from 07/23/2021 to 07/28/2021 and this is my build week. I am thinking that it is moving along somewhere in the production process.

Keep looking around for one close

Called the saleslady at the dealer I mentioned yesterday thats getting a unit pretty much exactly like the one I have on order. Left her a message, hoping I'll hear back tomorrow.

Putting it into the tracker, its barely off the assembly line, just finished yesterday (RCM and everything), ordered 11/7/20 (dealer inventory), ETA is 9/4.

Unless this is one is accounted for already, if my June build isn't finished within the next week I'm thinking this is the route I'm gonna go.

This is exactly what I did. I had one with a deposit down and its been sitting since June with no rcm. I found almost the same build further away and jumped on it. I am still waiting for my previous salesperson to get back to me about my deposit...pretty sure she is ignoring me. I absolutely love this vehicle so far, keep trying and I think you will love it too!

If this is true I’m in a huge pickle. Dealer got the deposit on the morning of the 27th (yesterday) and is placing the order today ?. I just sent him this information so that he steps on the gas and tries to place it. I’ll let you know if the order went through.

Dealer just sent a short reply “not true”.

Here is my order placed today. I just reviewed and signed and the dealer just confirmed that it was placed. Various add-ons not available andmust be ordered from parts (black plates, safe, dash cam, keyless pad). Looks like he set a priority 10 with the 21. I have a good feeling…

Hopefully he's right, would not be shocked if the 26th was reality. It's anyones guess at this point. Blue oval forum is usually pretty straight. One of the mods has some deep Intel.
