Is anyone else hearing Ford is not allowing any additional orders placed due to "parts constraints"

The dealer my sister is working with cancled her appointment today, saying "Ford has put a freeze on all Bronco orders due to parts constraints"

They would not meet with her to submit her order.

Up until today, dealer has been open with her and communicating. Albeit, she is not using the dealer I recommend 😄, but thatbis another story.
My dealer input my order this morning and I got the confirmation email from Ford shortly after. WHY ON EARTH WOULD THEY CANCEL ORDERING ON MARCH 18??? My bullsh_t meter is flashing red again! :devilish:

Suspicious since tomorrow is the last day for ordering for the first run. Maybe the dealer wants to make sure his buddies get theirs first...

This is exactly just one of the reasons things should be made in tHe ol USA. In 2011 there was a paint pigment shortage(made in Japan) that halted production for a couple months......when will they learn?
Yes, like all of the items "chemicals" made in Texas that I can't get because of the freeze. Nothing is ever perfect.

It will be interesting to see what happens when the government forces EVs on the public and everyone realizes it takes way less manufacturing jobs to make EVs. Unions will really be upset. Hopefully we can actually get some battery manufacturing going here to do some job off set. That being said, my original dealer asked me again to order today, so the order stoppage is pure B.S. from what I can tell.

This doesn't make any sense as it would just push the order later, if they didn't have the components. Look at all the code 99 orders placed in the system for MY22.

I am gonna say chalk this up to another stupid comment from a dealer.
That I did.

She moved her reservation to another local dealer and...

Her order is in.

I think it was a case of not paying attention. @XCR440 explained they locked out certain options on certain models and this dealer read it as NO MORE ORDERS on ANYTHING!!

They lost the sale.
