Official 2024 R Quality Issues

[hamster]

• Bellatrix, affectionately known as Bella and finished in an Anti-Matter Blue shade, was assembled on June 23 and collected on July 23. It came without a lock for the spare tire. The key fobs lack a functioning light. Additionally, the wires leading to the exhaust muffler’s diverter valve were not connected properly; one was so tight it couldn't be fastened to the frame, and the other was dangling over the exhaust pipe. However, I was able to disconnect them and then successfully reroute and secure everything appropriately.
• Other than these issues, the vehicle is exceptional, and I am thoroughly pleased with it.

Climbed under the other day....all mine good. BUT...working on installing lights and found the negative battery connection loose....so loose that I just pulled it off by hand.

So far it looks like "trim" stuff mostly been problems. Hoping more senior less hungover employees worked the serious stuff. To be clear...still love this thing.

My r has zero gaps, I could find no issues at all on close inspection. Only no secure card and code to program the outside door pad

I believe you have to get the code using ith your keys from inside on the screen. See the manual

Looks like they may have corrected the shock corrosion issue. My shocks are corroded to hell.

Wish mine looked like that. I noticed it was more than just the shocks. My wheel flare screws were partially corroded so swapped those out, aluminum parts under truck were corroded as well. Fixed worse one and may fix other one.

What did you do to your Raptor R today?

Got bored and found some golf club paint laying around… Maybe tacky, but oh well :) I dig it

Rustoleum and Amsoil have been my friend.

This truck sure has been fun in the dirt this week and good to know it is 99% all coated and sealed.

You’d think they’d go boring on 37pp and spicy on the R.
