Ford is building F-150s without certain parts due to semiconductor shortage

Ford released an update about how the global semiconductor shortage has affected their production. In it they say that it's forced them to build F-150s without certain parts.

Ford will hold these vehicles then eventually send them to dealers once they can install the extra parts.

• The global semiconductor shortage – combined with parts shortages created by the central U.S. winter storm in February – is prompting Ford to build F-150 trucks and Edge SUVs in North America without certain parts, including some electronic modules that contain scarce semiconductors. Ford will build and hold the vehicles for a number of weeks, then ship the vehicles to dealers once the modules are available and comprehensive quality checks are complete
