As far as actual manufacturing, a lot of is still various manufactures that AC subs out to.
Not sure how the various "tiers" figures into this discussion. It probably doesn't for uncommon parts like the blend door.

Great point here....I can tell you from the discussions I've had with my GM field engineer, the problem was with the vendor. That said, make sure you only get your door from the dealer, and also make sure it's the latest part number. Look at the box carefully...make sure a new part number sticker wasn't placed over the old one and also that the number wasn't scratched out and a new one written on the box! I've seen this many times! I replaced the door in my personal car in '15 and used the updated part. Haven't had a problem since!
I've seen a lot of misinformation post's on here about blocking off heater cores heat and that's the cause of the broken doors. That's bullshit! Almost all of our vehicles use a similarly designed hvac module. Other than Equinox and Colorado I have seen no failures in any of them. Don't cheap out, don't hack your car, have the door replaced with the updated part and you'll likely never have the problem again.
