My theory was proven wrong so I'm not going to share what it was. I do have one question, did you order any stripes or graphics packages?

fuzzymoomoo Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I'm wondering if they reinspected it for a recall or TSB. Wasn't there something about Mustang brake pedals not that long ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve74 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 So has this recall been extended to include vehicles built in October? I thought that this was only affected vehicles that were built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant from March 4, 2019, to Aug. 13, 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve74 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Just had an update from my dealer, who now says the delay is because of a lack of railcars. Could this be true or just the dealer trying to fob me off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could this be true or just the dealer trying to fob me off? It's probably true. It's been an issue for YEARS and now with automakers trying to replenish dealers after inventory ran super low during the covid shutdown its gotten worse. I live near there and I've noticed the yard has been rather empty in the section car transporters are usually held, which is right along Vreeland Rd. if you’re looking at google earth. There's a smaller spur that crosses the road and runs parallel to Hall Rd. and goes to the south loading ramp (which is on the FRAP complex itself) that usually has a couple of strings of cars parked on the sidings and those sidings have been empty more often than not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And FRAP has a long history of shipping delays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisholland03 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Most companies run 'just-in-time' to minimize supply chain cost. Not just automakers. When COVID hit, railcars and containers were arriving and no one was there to unload them and/or gov't restrictions required 30 days dwell. They end up piling up in one spot and become 'storage'. For each one used as 'storage' is one less that can be used to move goods. We're honestly a good 12-18 months from being back in balance globally.
