Yep sometimes.
Sometimes it’s the parts suppliers too. All the components and machinery have life expectancies. I have worked at automotive assembly plants. Sometimes the parts supplied don’t fit correctly. I can explain further but it’s not just the worker. The plastic, rubber, stamping can be off from the supplier. It happens unfortunately.
If a stamping machine is good for say 5000 pieces and is used to 7000 pieces before they swap out the tooling then there is a good chance those remaining 2000 pieces will be off. This then sometimes plays a part in the worker recognizing this and notifying the supervisor.
I’ve seen literally thousands of components have to be sent back to the manufacturer for bad fit or they don’t fit at all.
It comes down to bad quality control by not just GM or Ford or Fiat. It’s also the companies supplying the parts.
