Go to dealer and have them report it to Ford as a mis-build. You’re entitled to new blue stitched BD seats OR other compensation that you ask for, like different colored interior grab handles & vent chiclets.
Look at your window sticker. You can determine the Blend Date on it. For reference - Deciphering your window sticker.
Easy to say but that’s NOT what we ordered or were told we were paying for. Blue stitching is what we ordered on 4/3/23 and built on 7/24.
Doesn't matter when you ordered. It matters when it is built. There is a long line of order holders that couldn't get the AMB, Cyber Orange, cloth seats, etc. Now, on occasion, Ford does build the Bronco that deviates from the window sticker (i.e. steel bash plate with the modular bumper was standard for Job1 MY'23 yet some were built with plastic skid).
And buyers have the right to ask for compensation for that change. Ford never said they were discontinuing blue stitched BD seats. Or using plastic instead of steel bash plates for that matter.
Legitimate mis-builds, the dealer will correct. Ford finally admitted the "mistake" with the plastic skid and have issued a customer satisfaction program replacing the plastic skid with the steel. There are plenty of threads on that specific issue. But to stick with that issue, if a customer ordered the modular steel bumper with steel bash plate when the MY'23 order bank opened and their Bronco wasn't built until after Job2, then it doesn't matter what was on the DORA. What matters is what is on the window sticker. Those customers get stuck with the plastic skid.
