Good information! I think you may be on to something with this... I typed in the VIN to my BS that was just delivered and received a clean report.NHTSA Recall Search
I was jealously cruising through the FB owner's group when I came across a recall letter about May-June builds. I went to the NHTSA site and typed in my VIN.

Perhaps this is the real reason we're stuck in limbo.

I totally agree with your theory. This is what I have been saying the past 3 weeks when I see the July builds being completed and sent to dealerships.
Thanks for the link!NHTSA Recall Search

Upside they will likely manage the recall before release for transitThanks for the link!
The BL + BL Pkg I ordered on 3/18, in production on 6/17 (unfinished) is also affected by this recall. Bummers!
My build is also affected by this recall along with the missing chip. I went to my dealer and discussed the recall with him. He researched it and told me that Ford expects to have a fix for the fuel delivery module on 9/26/21. My dealer has two Badlands in transit that customers have back out of. I was put at the top of the list for both cars. When they come in, I will get first choice to buy at MSRP. I told the dealer that I don't want my build anymore. I think it's jinxedNHTSA Recall Search

Really at this point, take the bird in the hand. If one is available and what you want...take door #2
That's good timing that your dealership has 2 Badlands coming in that customers backed out on.
Yes, I checked the web site. I saw the white one and the other Badlands is an Area 51 not listed on the web site because the owner was going to buy it. He's going to let me buy it because I've been waiting so long. If it works out, I'll feel super lucky with the timing.
So many things in life comes down to the "timing".
Be happy, you’re still in line. I got an email today my BL/BL full load ordered 2/14 won’t even be built. Looking forward to getting in the MY22 line up, somethings are worth waiting for… Happy Thoughts!
