I think it’s more the factory than the production time. I think mine was built in Chicago plant and apparently that has had the most issues with labeling. But I could be wrong?

My 2021 built in august of 21 (possibly in the window of the recall) was built with the 3 bolt subframe. I’m nervous to tune knowing this information and will likely talk to my ford service department And see if they’re willing to do anything about it. If not and no recall, I’ll be looking for a subframe bracket solution.
Jan2021 build here with a 3 bolter. I’m about to move my family cross country from CA to SC the end of December. Was planning on towing a small uhaul trailer, wish me luck.
Edit: adding that I have a 2021 model. I bought it end of March.

Just saw another one posted on the FB page. Talked to my sales guy today and as soon as their transmission guy comes back, Im getting mine replaced. I see a recall in the near future!
I consider myself one of the unfortunates and nothing would make me happier than to see a recall on this. That said I don't see it happening. Manufacturers make running changes all of the time and until I read about some very late model 21's having the 2/4 bolt set-up I'm thinking that's exactly what they've done. Everything I've read about these being produced since about last March has indicated they have the 1/3 setup. It's not like they had a bad day at the plant it feels to me like they found a place to save a buck and have changed direction.
Anyone with the 2 bolt subframe have issues with one of the bushings twisting? I'll try to get a pic of my early '21, but noticed while installing exhaust, that the passenger side rubber isolator bushing appeared to have started to twist.
