Ford Motor Co. will delay delivery of its new Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossover vehicles as it irons out problems at its Oakville, Ont., manufacturing complex, company officials said Tuesday.
The company initially said it would deliver the car-based crossover vehicles to dealerships in November, but that now has been delayed until sometime in December.
Several thousand of the vehicles have been built and all meet Ford's quality standards, but Ford wants to make sure all of its manufacturing processes are working correctly before delivering the vehicles, Joseph Hinrichs, vice-president of North American manufacturing, said in an interview.
"The product's ready. We want to make sure that our process is equally ready to deliver, on a consistent basis, the quality and the timeliness of the deliveries that our dealers and our customers expect," Hinrichs said.
