BERLIN -- Ford is severely restricting the availability of its key Fiesta and Focus models for ordering throughout Europe, closing the order books for both models until further notice.
This means that only preconfigured models can be ordered until further notice, as the automaker responds to excessively long delivery times, according to a report in Automotive News Europe sister publication Automobilwoche.
"Due to the good customer demand, however, also due to the production situation, we currently have delivery times of up to 12 months in some cases for various model series," a Ford spokesperson told Automobilwoche.
