Ford had to delay some cars because it ran out of Ford badges.
Ford's signature badges have apparently been hard for the company to come by in recent months. A Ford spokesperson confirmed to thethat the shortage led directly to some vehicles being held from delivery, with the F-Series truck line included among the delayed products. It's a contributing factory in a major problem of delayed truck deliveries for the company.
With official parts delayed, Ford executives reportedly considered fitting the trucks with temporary 3D printed badges. That idea apparently fell apart when the brand determined those badges would not meet quality standards, so the company opted not to pursue the idea further. Enough badges have apparently been secured to retrofit trucks built without a logo and ship them out to dealers. That's great news for Ford, which will hopefully no longer have to consider whether or not it can sell a Ford truck without a Ford badge on it.
