Parts Hold?

Talked to my dealer and he told me my Raptor I ordered says “in production,” but no VIN has been assigned yet because there is a hold on production because of a parts hold. Anyone hear of this? Wonder what it means...

did you order carbon fiber, or beat lock capable wheels?
if so, yes these will delay a lot of orders.

Nope. Only ordered 802A, spray-in bedliner and heated rear seats.

I have heard rumors of a headlight shortage. Not confirmed. Parts shortages happen all the time.

How have they not figured out the supply issue with deadlocks and CF by now??? WTF???

Now I’m told my truck shows as scheduled for production, but does not have a VIN assigned yet. So annoying because I placed the order over a month ago.

Haha, alright thanks. Why did you have to wait so long?

There was an alleged parts hold on our 2018 order due to the CF interior, but we never noticed any real sort of delay. Truck showed up a week early. Hopefully it's a false alarm and they get it all fixed up for you soon!

I was just towards the end of my dealers allocation for the year so I had to wait my turn in line. A dealer can take your $, build one and hold it for X weeks or months before Ford pulls it or it can be pulled the next day.

Once the order is pulled from the dealer by Ford for production a VIN follows. You should have one in a week or two. A week or so after you get your VIN call Ford Performance and they will tell you the build date and estimated delivery to dealer date.
