I am concerned that this is a safety-related defect rather than normal wear. I have found multiple reports…

ABS system module has failed and the manufacturer has it on indefinite backorder. I read reports of some customer waiting over 400 days for this part. It compromises the effectiveness of the antilock braking system. How do they get away with this?
