This would appear to be good news overall given that Ford was able to narrowly identify the affected trucks. If you lucked out and got delivery right before the hold, maybe not so much.

I especially like this part…

A Ford spokeswoman declined to disclose how many trucks Ford has in holding that may have the issue. She said the company is "applying quality actions to already-produced vehicles with batteries built in this four-week window which we have been holding."

With that statement, I am hopeful that they have actually been doing something with my truck that was supposed be delivered back during the week of 2/6. It was bumped to 2/13, 2/20, then 3/21. My date hasn’t changed since they bumped it to 3/21-3/27. Fingers crossed. 🤞

Yeah this most likely affects just the trucks that somehow made it's way to customers after the stop shipment was issued. I know we had a few forum members who took delivery then. It would be interesting to hear if they were affected. My date hasn't changed from 3-14 to 3-20 since they pushed it back the 2nd time a month ago. I'm hopeful, but also wouldn't be surprised if my truck is back at the factory and my expected delivery gets pushed back again.

I want to know what ford is doing to figure out what trucks are affected. Are they sending workers out to the railyard? I'd imagine just the process of determining what trucks are affected can be time consuming.

I'm assuming that all trucks built and awaiting shipment also had post-fire battery cell inspections but I'm just guessing.

OK - we discover the defect pretty quick and we can look back at 2 months of production and are confident that only 18 had the problem - knowing the packs are already sealed shipped and in trucks.

I'm thinking I'm willing to meet anyone in Vegas - I'm taking the line that this is not the last we'll hear of this and the number 18 is just getting started.

I bet Farley just sent out a memo indicating effective immediately anyone making fun of battery pack assembly line workers’ Hairdo will be fired.
