The dealership called late ll/08 and told me that they had been in touch with Toyota. Toyota techs told them to change a certain part. The part had to be ordered and it will be about a week before they get it. This will be covered under the extended warranty because it is part of the VVT system. They say the car is safe to drive in the meantime. So, I hope this solves the problem. I find it disgusting that Toyota so often takes so long to supply various parts. Toyota's parts distribution system can supply 95 to 97% of parts within 24 hours of order placement, one of the highest fill rates in the industry. Unfortunately, it's that 3 to 5% that take longer that sticks in people's minds. Indeed and Toy is still probably better than any of the other manufacturers in their distribution. But, there COULD be some improvement. A week is inexcusable. -- Ray O correct the return address punctuation to reply A part that took a week to arrive at the dealership probably came from |
after introduction, when parts are redesigned, or when there is a sudden,

there should be at least ONE North American distribution point for ALL
Toyota parts.

Surely, there should be at least ONE North American distribution point for ALL Toyota parts. |
center (PDC) with every part Toyota makes but it is not practical. Not even
U.S. nameplates stock every part for every vehicle. Toyota's master PDC in
CA stocks most parts but it is not practical to stock every part. First of
all, there are over a hundred different models sold, each with thousands of
parts. While there is some parts overlap across models and series, each
model has at least some unique parts. Multiply that by 10 years of models,
and there are many millions of part numbers. Toyota, like all
manufacturers, monitors the frequency of sale of each part number and stocks
accordingly. Some part numbers sell once or twice in a ten year period, and
those parts are not stocked because it is not cost effective. Other part
numbers, like oil filters, sell by the millions each year. This same
frequency of sale determines what parts are stocked in regional PDC's and at
dealerships. To complicate matters further, the design of many parts are
changed or upgraded over time and existing inventory must be scrapped.
