B.S. or True??

I took my 2017 Yukon SLT with 238 miles on it (38 are mine) to the dealer today. I have an issue with my steering wheel leather and they are going to replace it. They told me the sreerimg wheel is not available through parts and that they'll have to pull the steering wheel off the line in Texas in order to replace it and it could take 3 weeks or more BS or true???

Probably true. Considering what all is in it and involved...

Agreed... remember its still pretty new so manufacturing gotta catch up..

sounds about right.

buddy has a new truck. someone broke into it & messed up a few interior parts. took 4 weeks to get avail interior parts off of the line.
he was fuming. the joys of new vehicles. lol

I never gave one thought about parts availability until unneeded them lol.......im getting a new 22" rear passenger chrome wheel for SLT Premium Edition and a new steering wheel and last but not least a passenger side fog light assembly. They said the wait for the wheel could run 8 weeks as they are on backorder. Steering wheel 4 plus weeks and who knows about the fog light assembly????

At least in time it will be fixed. I'm sorta on the fence about pulling off line, what about the vehicle it's programmed for ? the line moves fairly quick. Just a thought, good luck

I wouldn't complain about wait times for cosmetic stuff. Be glad you're not waiting 3 months for an A/C condenser.

pulling off the line would likely be out of a parts bin, not off an actual vehicle.
I was a contractor at the ford torrence plant years ago, they have a TON of inventory on hand. Its more a matter of going through the process of getting it authorized and physically walking to get the part. They are pretty sophisticated with inventory control.

Having needed parts for my 16 Suburban, I am surprised that parts are not available in a warehouse for distribution to the dealers. I had modules, cable, the antenna fin on the roof and the rear cargo area floor replaced. The longest I waited for a part was a week for the cargo area floor to come in.

Wait???? Cargo area floor??? The carpet or are you saying the actual metal floor??
