Parts on back order - is this normal?

My ND is in for some repairs and the bodyshop has said they are waiting for some engine parts on back order - and Mazda cannot give them a timeframe. Engine fan is one of the parts, possibly some other smaller things too.

Given this is a current model, is this normal?

Ever since Brexit and Covid - I’m not sure there is a “Normal” any more.

Most suppliers seem to be stocking less and less - majority of stuff is only ordered on demand.

Sadly yes it seems to be normal now. I had a problem with a Peugeot Partner van and it took the main agent 4 months to get the part.

First it was Covid, now it is the war in Ukraine that is causing issues. It is fairly normal now.

One man’s ‘causing issues’ is another man’s excuses.
‘Covid’; ‘Ukraine’, add a some ‘Brexit’ and ‘Israel’ in the mix and they’ve got it all :roll_eyes:
