Why is Ford sending a YouTube video link that is PRIVATE?

On May 6, I noticed that the status of my Bronco order was changed to "Built".
Today, June 5, I got an email from Ford telling me that my "SUV just rolled off the assembly line". That email included a link to a video. Unfortunately, when I click the link, YouTube says the video is Private. I have seen others post that they have had the same issue, but I haven't seen a solution.
Has anyone figured this out?

Seems to me they listed it private my mistake, unless they give certain individuals access permissions to view the video.

Ford probably just stole all your private information and will sell it to the highest bidder. Times are tough and Ford needs to make some cash as their dealer network sinks their business from all the bullshit market adjustments

If @Ford Motor Company hasn't fixed it by now they ain't gonna ,lol.

I want to see it. I could care less what it is but now that they sent me the link I've got to see it or it will continue to drive me crazy . I think that has been Ford's business model these past few years.

You're probably right. When I was in the corporate world, we had the interns write instructions. That's why most instructions are worthless.

I want to say it used to link to this video or one pretty similar. It wasn't as personal as getting a baby pic, for sure. Why it hasn't been updated yet, I don't know. It's been broken for some time.

Hey, that's a pretty cool video. My Bronco came off the line on Dec 7, 2022 and I got the same link to a dead video. Always wondered what it was. Thanks @Laura!

This video was sent to media when production began, and I remember when the link switched to private so I removed it from the article. If it's not the one in the email, I'm glad it was enjoyable, at least!

That's your private offer. You have to blindly agree to it or you get pushed to MY2026
