GM, Ford Cut North American Car Production Due to Chip Shortage
DETROIT—General Motors and Ford are again reducing production at their North American assembly plants due to a shortage of semiconductor chips.
GM said it will extend downtime at eight plants in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Most of the new cuts are two weeks, but production of the Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 full-size pickups in Indiana and Mexico will resume Sept. 13 after a week of downtime.
