REBUILT: Where a company simply REPAIRS
a part so it can be put back in service is rebuilding, not remanufacturing.
REMANUFACTURED:
Where a company MANUFACTURES a part into a NEW product.
Per the Federal Trade Commission
Remanufacturing is the process of restoring
products to like-new condition. For an auto product to be considered
"remanufactured", it must be dismantled; all internal &
external parts must be cleaned, & made free from rust & corrosion; all
impaired, defective or substantially worn parts must be restored to
a sound condition or replaced with new parts; all missing parts must be replaced
with new parts; & all necessary operations
must be performed to put the remanufactured product in sound working
condition. Once this reassembly process is complete, reliability tests
are performed to ensure the product performs as good as new. --
16 CFR PART 20 (2/28/2002) --
Toyota uses true remanufacturing to bring
our products to a state equal to that of a new automotive replacement
part and/or component.
The remanufacturing process entails complete disassembly & inspection
of all cores. Machining of the part to restore critical surfaces.
Replacement of worn or broken parts with Original Equipment (O.E.) spec
components. And, maintaining complete quality control procedures through
every step in the remanufacturing process.
Every Toyota remanufactured part is fully-tested to ensure it meets
or exceeds OE performance. We don't sell
remanufactured parts that have been rebuilt. Every Toyota re-man part is completely remanufactured to be as good if not
better than the original.
