Drilling for a spray in bed liner? More explanation please…
Agreed. Where is a drill needed ?
They were drilling drain holes.
FORD ought to partner with the lemon growers association and… oh wait…
While Jim Farley is out playing John Force the FORD Recalls are turning into a run away hit with every new model, Don’t buy the 1st year of anything Wow
I just ordered a Maverick will the recall have an affect on it
This explains why my Maverick order showed this kind of bed liner replaced by a drop-in plastic design. They must have stopped this altogether after discovering this problem. Happy I’ll only have to worry about whether my rear seat belts fall into that recall order. 🙄
So is there going to be a delay on deliveries
Yep- same with me, & I ordered my maverick 10 days before you. Also… I didn’t order the hybrid.
I ordered my maverick October 16 and still yet I haven’t got an update
I ordered October 12th and all I have is the order confirmation email from Ford sent the same day. Maybe they’ll build ours after they work out these glitches.
You guys haven’t been waiting nearly long enough, I ordered mine on June 23rd
Lol I ordered mine June 16th, and it’s finally here, only to be recalled. It’s got the spray-in bed liner. It’s AWD. It’s beautiful.
It’s literally right here, I’ve looked at it. I’ve sat in it. But sadly it won’t be ready for another week or more. At least.
I ordered September 25 it shipped July 9 maverick hybrid
