Well this sounds like a design problem and not a supplier issue.

Good possible scenario:
We need to swap ALL engines and you will need to work with your dealer on timing and compensation. I don't need any compensation as my car is ahead of schedule so only the timing part will need to be worked out with the dealer. Relax and enjoy your week guys. It will be a month before we see these cars.

I hope we don't have to deal with our dealers for compensation. The take it or leave it approach will not sit well with me.

A MONTH? A MONTH?

Are you kidding me? It will be at least two to three months if not longer.
