Thank you for this information. I not received any notification from my dealer for my consent, and hopefully I will just wait it out as I would like all my options on my vehicle. Looks like I may be waiting until 2023…..maybe. I have some thinking to do (on the Multi contour seats and APA removal)The APA, Multi Contour seats, and Max recline seats were all force deleted by Ford on our Platinum with 701A.
Ford supposedly made these deletions on all open unscheduled orders on May 9th.
My dealer has never contacted me our sent any forms to sign off on the deleted options.
Below is the Memo from Ford on the Forced Option deletions.
Per Ford dealer memo:

The Carbon Fiber Applique is still optional on 801A and is not effected by this change. The impacted parts include the following:
