The ongoing semiconductor shortage has claimed some bizarre victims as it has worn on. For example, Canon had to tell its customers how to bypass printer ink warnings because it can’t ship its ink cartridges with the chips it needs.

Now Ford has been placed into a peculiar situation with the automaker now having to ship Ford Explorers without the chips that power and control the air conditioning and heating in the rear seats.

As The Verge reports, these functions can still be controlled from the front of the vehicle, but not the rear seats. A Ford spokesperson, Said Deep, told the publication that customers who choose to purchase a vehicle without rear controls will receive a discount.

For customers who do want those controls, the semiconductors will be shipped to dealerships within one year where they will be installed.

Late last year Ford and GlobalFoundries announced a strategic collaboration to push semiconductor manufacturing and development forward in the US.

“These could include semiconductor solutions for ADAS, battery management systems, and in-vehicle networking for an automated, connected, and electrified future,” the pair of firms said in a statement in November.

That partnership still has a ways to go it seems given this latest development. That having been said, shipping cars without a feature, especially one that can be added at a later date is likely a better solution than waiting to ship those cars and creating more delays and potentially exacerbating the problem.

While many companies are working to address the situation, it’s clear that the semiconductor shortage will continue for a some time yet.
