traxiii Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/ford-halt-production-michigan-plant-due-chip-shortage-2022-03-31/ Says Flat Rock shutting down for next week due to a lack of chips. Anyone have anything to add, or official from Ford, how long etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traxiii Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) Heard a few minutes ago it is due to the earthquake in Japan a couple weeks ago. I find it hard to believe they would still be off line, but maybe supply chain, etc. That means we've gotten only 2 weeks of Mustangs built in the last 5 weeks, and who knows when they start back up again. Arrrrrrg! Edited March 31, 2022 by traxiii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzymoomoo Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 It's true but it's not for chips, it's other part shortages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrrrrrg! The earthquake is not the problem. From what I know all chip- plants have been up within three days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
