The global chip shortage continues to incur negative effects in various industries, the automotive sector included. The latest factory to idle its production will be from General Motors, specifically the Fort Wayne assembly plant that makes the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500, Reuters reported. The production pause will happen for two weeks, beginning on April 4.
"There is still uncertainty and unpredictability in the semiconductor supply base, and we are actively working with our suppliers to mitigate potential issues moving forward," GM said in the Reuters report.
