The supplier would also need time to make the parts as well. Fifty one days seems like a very short turnaround from order to delivery.

They were supposed to announce a recall with no replacement parts? Really, who could possibly not get this? Duh...

The recall was originally supposed to include a replacement ignition switch, lock cylinder and keys. I just had my recall performed about two weeks ago. The only thing they did was glue a plastic insert into my keys, turning the slot into a hole:



Nothing was replaced. This recall is a complete waste of time.

Unless you walk around with a key chain that looks like this...

than if they didn't have the part ready, but death is hard to get a replacement part to fix.

Unless your company considers profits more important than human lives.

Then a third party proved the problem to be with a software defect that caused the vehicles to accelerate uncontrollably due to a race condition?

Toyota fought that one for over four years.

to prepare for a recall and have the parts in the hands of their suppliers and dealerships.
