Bronco production update 8/9: Commodity issues far beyond MIC tops. Chip shortage reaches Bronco supply chain (NO COVID TALK)

[TheWoo]

Maybe if Ford would stop building dealer stock there wouldn't be a shortage on parts.

Ford hasn't built any significant dealer stock yet other than mannequins.

Any idea when Ford's next "StAy PuMpEd" email is or more seriously when an email on MY21 vs 22 will be sent?

(I know I'm prob 22 but want it in stone)

I feel like this is all most of us want (and expected back in May). At this point, I don't expect any such useful communication from Ford. They clearly do not want to share any data, I can only assume because it's bad news.

You guys remember when it was reported that the chip shortage wouldn't affect 2021 Bronco production?

https://thebronconation.com/bronco-semi-conductor-chip-shortage/

"Sources told Bronco Nation on Friday that they do not expect the 2021 Bronco production to be impacted by the chip shortage, sighting actions taken by the company to protect one of the most anticipated launches in recent history."

With the email updates many of us saw on Saturday moving our builds out to late September and early October I wonder if the only new September scheduling will be for FE units?

This is the problem with what we want-there is no way to set anything in stone right now.

Any word on if MY22 options are still on track for September or is it just TBD right now?

What happened to Ford saying the chip shortage will not affect the bronco. Some thing else they over spoke on.

I think that information was correct at the time, but there have been new developments since then (e.g., Delta-variant COVID shutdowns of chip suppliers in Malaysia).

“More than 50 international chip vendors operate fabrication plants in Malaysia, which is also home to many semiconductor packaging and testing facilities. The country recently imposed its fourth lockdown as it reported consecutive daily records of coronavirus cases.”
