First of all the part in question is not made of steel, but Ductile Iron and it isn't made by DANA or Toyota but is cast at various US foundries. The particular iron alloy is indeed made in Japan and supplied to the foundries. This is standard practice for Honda and Toyota to supply the foundries with the iron alloy ingot. From the sounds of it Dana identified a particular batch of castings that were bad (Dana said that less than 2% of the parts shipped had the defect) -jim |
