Ford does not send e-mail messages or post notices at the FMCDealer.com portal regarding plant down time. The only notices are those included in the FDNB (Fleet Distribution News Bulletin) which is updated weekly. Many Dealers don't know about the information available in the FDNB's or bother to look at it unless the dealership is actively engaged in the fleet business which is a totally separate process regarding order submissions, scheduling and substantially longer OTD (Order to Delivery) timelines. A Ford Zone Manager could have sent an e-mail to a dealership about F-150 plant down time but I've never seen a Zone Manager send such information. Unfortunately, the most reliable sources for information about upcoming plant "down time" are the media sources such as the FordAuthority.com site. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure hope not... My 3rd build date is now slated for Sept 30 & I was just able to pull up my window sticker. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I posted previously, Ford does not notify Dealers of plant "down time" other than that posted in the weekly FDNB (Fleet Distribution News Bulletin) which is scheduled down time and vacation time. The FDNB does not included interrupted plant schedules due to the microchip shortages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mully722 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Has anyone taken delivery of a truck that was built that week? I have a Raptor with a 9/28 build date, but the tracker says it’s still in production and the dealership said it should be here some time by the end of the year.
