I was lucky enough to avoid the airbag recall window. However, I still am still waiting on my rig to ship. It was officially build on 9/27 and is to head via convoy to West Virginia. Non of the tracking systems have updated in the past 2 weeks. I wouldn't think much of this but other people with later build dates are having theirs show up at the same dealership. Not sure what the hold up is with mine.

My biggest gripe with this whole launch is the lack of communication from Ford. From the moment they released the video footage back in July 2020 the communication has been bad. The Bronco Nation is suppose to be a conduit from Ford to the consumer. However, many generic questions on that forum fall on deaf ears. Simple questions like tire/wheel specifications were kept in the dark for months post release. Now Ford is cracking down hard on the employee who was taking photos of the preproduction units. I understand completely that you should never take photos that could show potential OSHA hazards or unreleased specifications. However, all the information was made public yet Ford did not have a steady stream of communication to the public. The Bronco Nation had a Q/A session early on and stated that they'd be doing those regularly. That never materialized. I went to two Dealer Demo events and was floored at how uniformed their reps were. I don't blame the reps, I blame Ford for not training them up or having an enthusiast there to answer any and all questions. This is an enthusiast driven vehicle, get the enthusiasts on the forums answering what they can. Ford Motor Company has a generic account on B6G who has been copy and pasting the same generic message over and over stating "We are listening". It's basically the equivalent of calling a support line and getting an automated answering system. No one wants that! Also, please don't tell me Ford owes nothing to the consumer and that the dealerships are their customers. I understand that remark in terms of a business sense but many customers are Ford stock holders and at the end of the day they are also the end consumer.

@fuzzymoomoo @ice-capades Are either of you able to provide any information on more MAP shutdowns for the month of August? I know as of early last week nothing was confirmed. On Friday a bunch of people had their build dates kicked 2 weeks. Then a bunch of these same people actually had their builds kicked another month to late September/early October.
