Ford curtails production at some North American plants due to parts shortages

Ford Motor Co. continues to see production impacts tied to the global semiconductor shortage and other supply-chain constraints.

The Dearborn, Michigan automaker confirmed its Flat Rock (Michigan) Assembly Plant, which builds Mustangs, will be down through next week due to parts shortages tied to the chip shortage. And Transit production at its Kansas City Assembly Plant in Missouri will be down through the weekend.

"The global semiconductor shortage continues to affect Ford's North American plants — along with automakers and other industries around the world," Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker said in a statement. "Behind the scenes, we have teams working on how to maximize production, with a continued commitment to building every high-demand vehicle for our customers with the quality they expect."
