The OEM part is, as the service manager at the dealer put it, "on intergalactic back order."

They don't make the OEM part any more, and anyone who has new stock isn't selling it to other dealers. You might be able to find a Chinese version, but if you have a warranty or service plan, you're rolling the dice with it.

It'll be a class action suit one day, I feel it in me bones. ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ

Should be a class action suit now. Isn't it typical to have 10 year part availability?
