Ford Cuts Production in July-August on Chip, Parts Shortages
Written by Michael Cowden
Ford plans to idle or reduce production at nearly all its North American assembly plants in July – and in some instances into early August – because of a shortage of chips and other parts.
“While we continue to manufacture new vehicles, we’re prioritizing completing our customers’ vehicles that were assembled without certain parts due to the industry-wide semiconductor shortage,” a company spokesperson told SMU on Wednesday, June 30.
