Production Halted For Weeks
The automaker halted production at the facility on October 13 and will resume production only after November 3, 2025, according to a report by Bloomberg on Tuesday. Stellantis confirmed the news via an email cited in the report, saying that production was temporarily ceased due to "a parts shortage."
Eric Graham, a representative for the United Auto Workers Union cited in the report, said that the plant was experiencing a shortage of aluminium hoods and doors for the Wagoneer.
Ford Records Production Impact
The news comes with Novelis, an aluminium manufacturer that is a key supplier for Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F), reporting a major fire incident at its Oswego, New York, facility in September, which rendered over 40% of the factory unable to carry out production.
Novelis supplies to Ford, as well as other manufacturers like Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:TM) and Volkswagen AG (OTC:VWAGY) and Hyundai Motor Co. (OTC:HYMLF).
