I think material restriction basically means they ran out certain parts. At least that is what I was told...I ordered in January, went to D-1 in mid-March, went back to D in April, and am back in D-1 again...but not exactly holding my breath that it will show up when scheduled! I was told the part shortage is affecting the off-road versions.
That is what Material restriction/hold is: either lack of critical parts, defective parts, or design errors in parts. Companies spend big money to develop systems and processes to prevent production delays due to this. Imagine a $25000 order / definite sale being held up due to lack of a subassembly of a few hundred dollars. Some portion of those orders will go away. All will be pushed back perhaps out of the financial quarter.
 
Out of BG and now BX as of today! Sounds like they may start to build this month. I'm hoping I will get it 1st week of June. If any later I'm not sure what to do since the 08's gotta be rolling down the assembly line soon.

When you initially ordered yours, when did they project it to be delivered? Was there a delay that is causing you to re-think your initial plan?
 
I ordered it in April, on a Friday, with a date of the 13th! OMG! I'm doomed -just realized it was Friday the 13th!
I actually had the papers dated the 14th. No sense in pushing my luck
 
Another update in the same day!!!!! It is now in LaGrande, Oregon! Almost home baby! I should be busting bugs by this weekend! Two updates in one day!! How cool!

Yes, I heard all of the "shortages" are from the FDII package. Good thing I didn't order that!
WOAH! This is going to be close! Mine is in Monteal and dealer said it would be on his lot today! ...delivery tuesday?

Let's just call it at the dealer :smiley_thumbs_up:

...and they're off :Racing:

Sounds like our Pats are on the same schedule. I ordered mine on 4/12 (you ordered on 4/13). Both of our orders moved from BG to BX on 4/30. I called today and mine is now in C.

Here's my schedule so far:
4/12 Ordered
4/20 BG
4/27 BG
4/30 BX
5/3 C

Three weeks now and not even in D status yet! I'm getting very impatient!

Oh man, it is close! Mine is about 80 miles north of me getting put on a transport truck, but it isnt at the dealer yet! Plus, I am having the receiver put on as well as the molded splash gaurds, so that may ad a couple of days! Let me know when you get it! Have fun and good luck!!! :hammertime:

It's here :) ...at the dealer. I arrived this morning.
Delivery is scheduled for Monday afternoon.
I'm also having the hitch receiver installed at the same time.

Edit: Finally took delivery.
 
Got a call from the dealer on Tuesday, it has arrived. Six weeks from ordering. The wife and I are going tomorrow to pick it up while our son takes the SAT. Worked out nice the dealership and testing place in same town.:smiley_thumbs_up:
