| Description of the problem | Someone at the company evidently does not understand the auto assembly process wherein the component suppliers are required to warehouse components and assemblies for just in time delivery to the assembly plants. Components and assemblies are stored and delivered as retrieved , not in order of manufacture, so the the last parts delivered may have been built months before delivery. By setting a deadline manufacture date of march 2013 for vacuum booster assembly you are assuming that all the defective parts have been purged form the system, when that is probably not the case. So my 2013 lincoln mkx #2lmdj6jk2db[xxx] could possibly have a vacuum booster assembly manufactured in 2012, yet your system refuses to allow replacement. This is totally unfair.
