This is concerning. It took me several months to get a replacement antenna for my satellite radio. The shortage of more critical components is disturbing because it suggests that those parts may be failing on a substantial number of vehicles; a possible indication of manufacturing or design flaws.
but as the sales manger said at my dealership, "if they are rolling them off the assembly line now, and we are selling them, they by God should have parts"........support what you are selling. jmo
Did the clamp break at the dealership during their maintenance or did they notice it came in like that? If it came into them like that, they most likely replaced the whole assembly because if you get dirt into the CV joint, it's wear out pretty quick.
Okay. If that's the case then the whole mess has to be replaced. Once you get junk up into that CV it's pretty much on it's way to being toast.
The concept is: sell trucks and make part for new trucks to sell to get money coming in first, worry about parts to supply for warranty repairs later.
wow! you have a great dealer !!!!! worth the delay to have the problem solved
it would be MUCH MORE annoying to have to take it back....
really it sounds like you have a great dealer who got the problem solved my local dealer is not bad but sounds like yours goes above and beyond
