Hey guys

My dealer has just come yesterday from a Dealers meeting with Ford and he told me what the issue is with all our cars stuck at Holding Yards at the wharves around the country. A batch of 2018 stangs (not the first batch that came here which were ok) have been kept aside to fix a loose clip on the wiring harness which was found on a couple of cars. As a result, all cars currently at wharves/holding yards will be inspected and retro fitted with this clip before releasing to the dealers.

It's very frustrating that a part which probably does not cost more than a few cents is causing such hold ups. Ford has started to release vehicles now and all will be progressively released within the next two weeks.

At least we know it's nothing major, just incredibly frustrating......

Makes sense - my dealer said he heard they were fixing the problem with cable ties

My car was on the wharf for nearly a month in 2017 because all the vehicles on the ship were contaminated, possibly by dirt/mud stuck on the tyres when being loaded. May have been a wet day.

All 1,000 plus vehicles had to be cleaned before customs would release them.

In my case, the CEVA tracking was not accurate.

It used to be all the way to the dealer but can't say for certain that it still is.


Saw my first MY18s at the CEVA yard on the corner today and a few on their trucks heading out.
Where is the Cova yard in Sydney ?

Seems my car will reach the dealer on 25th ( Wednesday ) - from CEVA also.
With luck I may have it this week-end

There's a holding yard in Minto IIRC but I'm near their distribution point in Villawood.

Well Bob, it is now only days for all of us. Hopefully I will be able to get mine for the weekend. I think the 4 grandsons that also live around the Gold Coast will be impressed.
