Supply chain issues

I received this supply chain issue letter from Ford?
Did anyone else received this? Now this Raptor R order may take longer than inspected.

Yes I received one a couple of weeks ago. But I just received my VIN number and production date

Unfortunately, yes. I received mine about five days ago. I was thinking I had made the first cut, but it sounds like that's not the case now. Here's to hoping we get some good news within the next 30 days or so.

This is an interesting article that discusses some of the issues Ford is having: Unfinished Ford Trucks Keep Piling Up in Massive Lots Visible From Space

Unfinished Ford Trucks Keep Piling Up in Massive Lots Visible From Space

News emerged this week that Ford has parked around 40,000 unfinished new vehicles waiting for parts.

Hey y'all! New to the group but have a Raptor R on order. I was just informed the heated steering wheel is a current supply chain issue. My dealer removed it from my order so hopefully it will get picked up by Ford.

Welcome to the forum! Hmmm that's interesting news. I thought the heated steering wheel was part of the premium package and I didn't know it could be singled out. Please keep us posted and I hope your order gets picked up soon!

They sent me the new build sheet and had it removed. We'll see...

Good to know! There might be others out there that can benefit from this.

I have a build week of 11/14 and a VIN. There hasn't been any correspondence regarding the heated steering wheel or heated mirror removal.

Ugh, sorry to hear that! I want our members to get their Raptor R's so that we can hear some real-world reviews.

Got my second delay email as well on 10/17, but that one didn't say anything about every 45 days, so hopefully that means i'm getting closer to getting my Raptor R built.

 

[HoustonTXRaptorR]

Got my second delay email on the 20th and also no mention of the 45 days.

 

[AntiBlueR]

Anyone get the welcome to Ford Special Vehicle Registry email? Thought is was weird to get that before I got the VIN number.

 

[Rated R]

I Haven't got that email but I should take delivery in about a week.

 

[HoustonTXRaptorR]

I haven’t and still haven’t got a VIN either. My next 45 day email should be next week.

 

[HoustonTXRaptorR]

For those how have received a VIN and build date. How much time ahead of the build date did you get the VIN?

 

[MyRaptorR]

My VIN came about 7 days before it was supposed to go in to production but my production date moved 5 times so d0nt think there is a clear timeline my arrival date now has changed 4 times so still not sure when it will arrive
