Starting to worry about unbuilt 21s

[Cowboy from hell]

Is any body else who is still patiently waiting for their my21 to get built starting to worry? I mean its almost November and supposedly my22 are going in to production December 6. That means there is like 6 weeks left to finish any outstanding my21 orders....I guess what Im getting at is if they couldn't get my jeep built these last 4 months, they are magically going to build it in a month?? I call bullshit....

Yep, I'm in the same boat... I keep thinking my order will end up being a 2022 (Not sure how that would work) in any case I'm not concerned. I was told since I was assigned a VIN it will eventually get built as a 2021. Just be patient...

Or it won’t. Not to be a downer, but Ford cancelled a bunch of 2021 Bronco VINs already. Some of the folks who were cancelled received their VINs in spring.

Manufacturers can’t use an expired VIN. If they miss the build window, they will cancel it and get in touch with you to reorder based on ‘22 features and options.

From what I have read they stopped taking orders on the 21's and wont build the 22's until the 21's are done. I am not sure how many Jeeps they are making a day right now with availability of parts but I remember reading that years ago it was around 150 a day. I think the thing to worry about its probably out of jeeps hands and that is availability of parts.

My other main concern is that we don't get jeeps that are just slapped together and have lots of issues when done. I realize there isn't a change in model or anything like that and I don't know the inner workings at the plant. I just imagine there is some hard date they are trying to complete the 21's by and don't want them to rush shit and take shortcuts.

I once ordered a Honda, when it came in it was the completely redesigned new style. That was a good thing, as it was the year they really made them look better.

They didn't charge me more and I have to think Jeep would do the same. It wouldn't be your fault they sold you a vehicle they couldn't produce.

Still, for me, it felt like this because no one said anything until I went to pick it up.

Yes, I asked is there any chance my 2021 order would be changed to a 2022 and was told by two different people it would be built as a 2021.

I asked both of them "what if the 2021's aren't finished by the December start date of the 2022?"

They both said the start date was only a projection, not a definite date to start production.

But I don't know if these two guys from Jeep Chat really know either.

I too worry about that when the time comes to start the 2022 Builds, especially with all the Material Shortages. I cross my fingers that the Plant doesn’t half-ass everything and that we all get stuck in the Recall Bin in the end…

Once the build starts, from start to finish, the build only takes a couple of days.

The JKs were built into Spring of 2018 I think. Not sure if that was finishing up orders and obligation for the JK or not or some other other logistics reason. Can't imagine they can't start production with some 2021 left to be assembled. Nothing really changed that I noticed. Well prices.

How can anyone know? They don’t want you to cancel the order since it is a “maybe”, and if they can’t produce a 2021 they want to break it to you gently so that you reorder.

There is still hope they will come through; and I am sure they want to. Global supply chains are just…. Crushed.

Glad my order is going in tomorrow then! MY22 and was told Dec6 the 22s start production, yet some people are getting them already; no idea. Just going to be patient and get my VON# and stalk once a week or so and see how it progresses! Super stoked for my first Jeep and diesel!

I will lose my shit if they cancel my build and say sorry you have to reorder a 22 and get back in line and wait 4 more months.....

I just asked my Jeep Chatpwrson this question. She claimed they were finishing up the 2021 and then would start 2022. The businessman in me says they don’t want to tell a new 392 buyer they messed up as it’s their biggest margin. If they do I can honestly say I might buy something else after this wait.

yes 2018 JK was built until 4/28/18, but it was also on a different line (now JT) than the ‘18 JL

Nobody has gotten a 2022 JL
