That's what I'm thinking. You got AT LEAST:

Engine finishes and inspection stations

Engine installation and inspections stations

Frame final and inspections stations

Final test and QA stations

What is that 8-10 people or more? Ain't a moco issue - more like labor dispute issue? Moco owns the problem for sure, but holy crap, how many people should they have to hire to get them all to keep their committment to not screw the customer?

I love American products and I support quality labor, but sometimes it gets ridiculous.

That is what I think happened.

Red face Not the MoCo...

The MoCo has a state of the art assembly line system where all items are checked off the second they are installed. There is a very slim possibility thatall these items were "forgotten"...
My vote is the dealer removed them intentionally and tried to pass you a load of crap. Plain and simple...they hoped you wouldn't notice.

That is called being "cheeky"...and deserves a run to a different dealer.

Why did you bother to ask us if you thought it would be OK?
