Anyone gotten an “almost built but delayed notice”?

[lem]

Got an update from Ford today “Your Ranger is almost built, but is taking longer than estimated. We’ll send an update as soon as we can.” Anyone ever get a message like this and if so how long was the delay.
Local dealer say everything they see is it is built.
thanks

Got the same email today. RR with spray-in bedliner and mud flaps. Blend date 3/14, in production 3/18, modules and tear tag also done on the 18th. Not sure what the delay is.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like I am not alone. Mine was an XLT.
How did you find the more detailed info about modules and tear tag?

If it shows a bunch of modules at the bottom and Tear Tag is populated up top, then usually means production is complete (off the assembly line).

@SmokeyPancakes Thanks for the link, each time I input my build VIN either on my PC or phone, I get a .ab file download, but I can't figure out what app or program to open it with.

Am I missing something?

You don't download it. Just looking for tear tag entry.

I got same message the other day, my build date was 3/10 XLT. I heard Trump’s tariffs would affect the auto industry, that might be the issue
