I did speak with Ford marketing and they told me I should be "optimistic" as my delivery ETA is still 12/20 and not "TBD". My dealer pulled my VVR and it shows delivery between 12/19 and 12/25. Nope. Truck was in production on 12/11 and it had a build date of 12/10. My dealer said it shows offsite and has delivery between 12/25 and 12/31. I was able to add my vin to Fordpass today - whatever thats worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you find out it was on "chip hold"? Ours has been "In Production for a week". Not sure what to expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what to expect. Notices are included in the Vehicle Visibility reports when the vehicle is on a chip hold. The "Micro Chip At Plant On Hold" notice appears in the ETA Disposition column at the far right of the report.

I can't even get my dealer to pull and show me an updated VVR. Talked to them in person today after texting him earlier in the day and he just said it's still In Production and would not show me updated VVR. On top of that, I just found out on another forum topic here that the Kentucky SD plant is down this week. So if that IS true then it answers why I have no apparent status change. I hope the comment about the KY plant being down is just someone messing with me. Later. Edited December 17, 2021 by bhidalgo63 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waloud Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 We did run 2 days this week of Super Dutys. Our frame supplier got hit with a power outage from the tornado last weekend. From what I'm hearing, we will not run any more trucks until after the first of the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I am accustomed to getting my news from Facebook, this does confirm a posting in the Super Duty group I’m in that spoke about a short layoff due to the tornadoes. The layoff was NOT for Ford, but rather a company that provides necessary components or services.

Fireguy Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 That's bad news for those waiting to be built, but hopefully those on " chip Hold" will get completed and shipped... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only those waiting to be built, but also the ones that have actually moved into production this week only to now possibly be taken back out of production until after the first of the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously I was stuck in "in production" on the tracker status & ETA for delivery was 12/31. One would assume this means it was finished yesterday/today but who knows.

Can you add anything about the chip holds -- what items specifically are coming out out of stock that causes this, and how long have the waits been when this happens?

They have been repaired and inspected and sent out the gate to be shipped. Not really sure which chip modules have come back. As of last night the repairmen were installing 5 different chips. I know one had to do with the radio and another was the knock sensor on diesel trucks. We have been running 24/7 since Sunday morning. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My truck has been on chip hold since 12/11 and yesterday the tracker shows it is built. Thanks to everybody busting their hump to work through this backlog - I really appreciate it and I am sure everybody stuck on chip hold appreciates progress during the plant shutdown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
