Do Not Sell Order
Long story short, was ready to write up a deal on an F250 King Ranch, 6.7, pretty well loaded, and the dealer came back and said there was a do not sell order from Ford on the truck. He mentioned there were two issues, one of which was the rear inflatable seat belt, and the other he couldn't remember. So my questions are why would the seatbelt thing be a do not sell order when the recall says it's a pretty straightforward inspect and replace, and second, what other issues are going on that have triggered a do not sell order?

Seat belts are a safety item. No way Ford is going to sell a vehicle that is subject to a safety-related issue.

parts for the seatbelt recall aren't available yet. Took mine in for the transmission park rod recall finally, and to have them do the seatbelt, but parts aren't available yet. So just got the tranny rod done for now.

I had a dealer say the same thing last month. They have a pair of 250 Lariats on the lot they can't sell until the seat-belt issue is resolved. The sales manager did say they expect a fix to be in place by 10/16.
Fortunately, for me, it gave me some time to find Koons Ford in Baltimore. They are selling the exact same truck for $5K less. This will definitely make for some interesting negotiations...

From what I can tell from Ford site this should only be for trucks built during this timeframe
2017 Ford Super Duty built at Kentucky Truck Plant, Oct. 20, 2015 to June 16,
So if you can find one built after June 16th you should be fine...
