Ok folks... It looks like Chicago Assembly Plant is gonna have some production downtime. I'll let you know the time frame when I know. What this means for the customer is this... If your vehicle has been in production and not shipped, it's most likely waiting on parts. This downtime will allow us to complete partial builds and get them to the customer. For those who ordered and have not had a build date, your order will be on hold. I promise to keep everyone updated as I learn accurate information.

I was surprised my smart ass reply about the subframe didn't get more traction when he answered.....

So did they make the switch to hoard them for the Aviator and the RWD ST?

Wow, 15k vehicles on hold for parts.

Hmmm, mine is being built this week. Hopefully mine won't go on hold and will be considered a partial.
