Nah it has nothing to do with just in time since that applies to the manufacture of the whole vehicle not spare parts. Spare OEM parts are a totally different contract that has nothing to do with making the actual vehicle. Somebody at GM decided that there would be little demand for that particular part so they were not contracted to be made in volume. A quick look through the Camaro forums shows they were very, very wrong since this is a very common (and fairly serious) issue and they just don't have the parts to cover the demand. It isn't as simple as GM just calling up the factory and saying "hey, we need a couple of hundred wiring harnesses tomorrow".
