Flipped to a 22

[RC-N-TEXAS]

Looks like the 21 I had on order has been moved to the 22 model year. No information on what that does to the timeline, purchase price, etc. as of yet.

When did you order? XR package?

Ordered last week of August and yes, XR package. Basically had everything but the half doors...

Same here except ordered 8/13
Still in D. Will post if mine gets flipped.

Man, I hope that doesn't end up screwing you guys in the end... that would totally suck. Every order gets a VON (vehicle order number) and build priority of 99 (the lowest) which is "Pending" at the time the dealer places the order. Those get VINs and will move to a "D" status with Pending becoming "Firm" which is a sold order (not technically "sold" until this happens.) Long story short, once it becomes a sold order and gets a "D" status with serial number (VIN) they can't be changed as VINs are year specific, so it needs to be resubmitted as a new order for a new model year. Might usually not be a problem with timing (since orders that end up getting recreated for new year tend to straddle the cutoff date plus or minus a few) but given the current backlog, just hope it doesn't push you back even further behind the already submitted orders for '22. The cutoff (last date possible to order)for 21's was October 8th. The 2022's started the 9th. FCA plans to build all sold orders through December 4th, when they would typically shut down for any retooling for the next MY (and with only 2 days of shut down, it's pretty evident that there's no real changes.) Point being, December 4th is arbitrary and if they have a backlog of builds, that date gets pushed first. So, unfortunately, that could push your start date back even further which, as I opened with, could really suck. Fingers crossed for you both!

When you say yours got flipped, did the dealer tell you that or did you see it on that spreadsheet tracker on the JL forum? I ordered mine the last week of September with the XR package. After I saw this original post I asked my dealer to check to see if mine was flipped and he said it was still a 21. The spreadsheet still shows it as 21 in D status.

Is the spreadsheet on the JL forum simply a compilation of information given by forum users? I think so. I provided just an order date and VIN at first then after I was on the spreadsheet with just that information I posted color and options, they were on the spreadsheet in a couple of hours.

From looking at the spreadsheet on the JL forum it appears to me its the XR package almost exclusively driving the delay to 2022.

It was my understanding that it was being checked against the build process. I had a friend who received an email from the website when his build progress changed.

I ordered mine September 10th. And was it was flipped to a 22. also was told they are not starting to build the 22's until Dec. 6th. So i guess ill be waiting a while longer.

Original order placed 08/24. Checked with Jeep Chat yesterday and was told I had to talk to my dealer. Checked with them and I had been flipped to 22. They didn't notice or notify--doesn't really make a difference that they didn't, but if you're curious you'll probably have to ask.
I'm not sure (and neither is dealer) about ETA (whomever knows how this affects our place in line isn't talking) but I'm guessing anyone ordering in/after August (at least with XR) is going to get pushed to a 22.

Did they give you a new VIN number when you were flipped? Somebody here said that VINs are year specific.

I talked with my dealership this morning. My XR was also flipped to a 22 but the one ordered the day before mine is en route to the dealership as a 21. The dealership also confirmed the price with me and it was within $100.

The VON remained the same but the VIN was different.
Happened automatically apparently, but I'm guessing this is why Jeep Chat wouldn't talk about it. I tried again with the new VIN and got the familiar D status scripting.

Well I checked with my dealer and my 21 was moved as well. Date ordered switched from 9/28 to 10/22. As was said above, Von is the same, but the Vin changed. For those that are interested and are paying MSRP it went up by $5.00 between the two years. The only thing that I saw change on my order was it went from 50 state emissions - NAS to California emissions state order -YCF.
