Hold material. Do not return or install.

Product is currently being evaluated and disposition of material being held will be provided in a bulletin to follow.

I've got 2 that fall in this date range already coded and cut with customers scheduled for repair. I'm sure they will be happy to hear the news. Yes, the parts we've had ordered for your vehicle for 2 months are here, no you can't have them.

I am getting a headache. I've checked 3 and one of those is bad stock....I have 40 on the shelf, so 37 to go.

Now in charge of quality control:

Took a copy of the bulletin into the office. The office manager says "we have been waiting for the proper time to give you this". She reaches under the desk and hands me a box with a 1.75 of Jack Daniels in it. Come on by guys and gals we are going to have an attitude adjustment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Good place to work!!)

I don't drink, but I might join you...

Do do you read this to include 14179 and 14188 ?
If so, 43.5% of our ignition switches are bad.
If not, only 17.5% are bad.

Sigh.

I haven't had time to check the closed RO switches sitting in the warranty bin yet.
