NTN, the parent company of BCA Bearings, has announced the addition of 19 new product SKUs to the BCA aftermarket product line. BCA’s February and March releases include wheel bearings and hub assemblies for import and domestic applications, and represent premium coverage for more than 7.3 million vehicles in operation. 

“The final two releases of our 2022 fiscal year are remarkable not only in that they are comprised of multiple first-to-market offerings, but also for bringing coverage of a number of popular vehicles up to the current model year,” said Rina Dafnis, assistant product manager – Automotive Aftermarket. “Our core strategy of being quick to the aftermarket with new numbers allows us to manage the sweet spot of demand for our product category. Having parts on the shelf when these vehicles begin to need replacement parts gives our customers a competitive advantage in the aftermarket.”

These new SKUs boost BCA coverage for late-model pickup truck and full-size SUV applications, including the Ram 1500, Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra, and Chevy Tahoe/GMC Yukon/Cadillac Escalade, which account for 4.1 million vehicles in operation combined. These releases also augment coverage for the fast-growing work truck segment with the Ford Transit 150/250/350, and include coverage for a variety of late-model European and Asian imports. These represent the final automotive aftermarket part releases of NTN’s 2022 fiscal year, which ends March 31.
