Going from past experience, they should be finishing up this Fri or Sat depending the assembly plant's shift schedule and returning back on Jan 2nd.

KCAP will be upgrading paint booth downdraft exhaust system for both F150 and the Transit during shutdown. Just worthless info.

Well that may explain why my truck has had so many issues! Mine was built on 12/23/14 !!!

So not only did I not follow the age old advice of not buying a vehicle made on Friday, I bested it by getting one made the last day before Christmas shutdown!!!

And it was Job 1 of a complete redesign, not enough time to get feed back from dealers on all the problems to correct throughout the MY assembly.

Just curious, what issues did you have. My 2015 King Ranch has a vibration problem at 75-80.

Sorry, I don't have the emotional energy to list it all out. I can tell you that I've had no drivetrain vibration issues. But, over 13 warranty repairs has exhausted me. I think it's all worked out now. Sometimes you have to just stick with it until it gets done. In my case, it took the full 36K warranty and being alert and proactive.

I can beat that! I factory ordered a '95 Taurus SHO. It was built on a Monday in January, THE Monday after the Super Bowl that year. Ford ended up buying it back under the lemon law before April.
