They do not stockpile parts most arrive JIT for the production line. If there is an immediate scarcity then it would be for those vehicles that have them allocated for. Once the supply has recovered then the part is allocated to the vehicles yet to be built. This way they aren't constantly pushing back future production or constantly reallocating parts. It is easiest to have the production operate as normal and "fix" the originally effected vehicles outside of the normal production.
