Ford says the global chipshortage means some of its Explorer SUVs will ship with missing features, though they'll be added when the parts become available.
Impacted by the ongoing global chip shortage, Ford has said it will begin selling some of its Explorer SUVs without particular features, but added that customers can have the necessary components fitted later once the chips became available.
The plan has since been confirmed by a Ford spokesperson who told the Detroit Free Press that the move is designed to expedite the delivery of the Explorer to customers, adding that it does not impact any safety features linked to the SUV. Customers taking delivery of the vehicles will be notified by their dealer when the chips become available so they can take their carin to have the technology fitted. This should happen within the next 12 months, Ford said.
As Automotive News pointed out, Ford’s move appears to be a variation of an idea the automaker first explored last summer when it considered asking dealers to store partially built vehicles until the missing components became available.
