Ford Has Run Out Of Brand Badges And Model Nameplates Leading To Delay Of Shipments | Carscoops carscoops
spokesperson told the outlet that the company will be retrofitting badges onto any vehicles that were held because of a lack of badges. The company is also building and shipping some trucks with the blue oval badge, though.
Tribar Technologies, Inc., a company that supplies exterior trim and other parts for a number of automakers, including, was forced to pause production in August because it had discharged industrial chemicals into a local sewer system. Fortunately, the chemicals were caught before causing substantial environmental damage, so the company said that it is now operating at full capacity. Neither Ford nor Tribar confirmed, however, if this was the cause of the badge shortage.
