The slide shows the plant closures are completed or to be completed by end of 2020 so yes most have already occurred or already announced much earlier...sadly.

Zonal locking: Ability to lock and unlock the cabin and the cargo area separately, allowing controlled access for tools or parts
Wow!
Who would have thought my Dad's XR Wagon would have such an advanced feature.

Yep, plan was first announced April 2019 to be completed by end of 2020.

That's one of the worse features. I hate it. Press to unlock the car, go to the boot and it's locked. Press the boot button, press the button above the license plate and pull it up. For f*cks sake Ford. !!!
