Ford Fiesta deliveries to U.S. delayed by storm-damage to railroad lines

FoMoCo said that shipments of the 2011 Ford Fiesta to U.S. dealerships have been delayed by 10 days to 2 weeks and it’s mother nature’s fault. Shipments have been delayed due the damage caused to railroad lines by Hurricane Alex and Tropical Storm Bonnie, said Angie Kozleski, a Ford spokeswoman.

“We do ship a significant amount of vehicles via railroad, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t shipping at all,” said Kozleski. “We just have to reroute it and that takes time.” Ford started producing the U.S.-spec Fiesta in early May at its plant in Cuautitlan, Mexico, near Mexico City.
