Ford, General Motors to halt production at two Michigan plants

Ford Motor and General Motors will each halt production this week at a Michigan plant because of parts shortages, the two automakers said separately on Thursday.

Ford said it would suspend production at its Flat Rock Assembly Plant by this week, where it builds the Mustang, because of the ongoing global semiconductor shortage.

GM said that because of a temporary part shortage it would terminate production this week at Lansing Grand River assembly, where it builds the Cadillac CT4, Cadillac CT5 and Chevrolet Camaro.

The automaker said the production halt was not associated with chips shortages but provided no other specifics.
