Summer Shutdown Schedule Changing At 3 Chrysler Factories
DETROIT (WWJ) - Chrysler is moving up its normal summer shutdowns at three factories from the usual July closings because of parts shortages from Japan.
The company says its pickup truck plant in Warren and its Toledo, Ohio, North assembly plant will be idled the weeks of June 20 and 27.
Nearly all automakers not just Japanese carmakers have lost production due to parts shortages from the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that hit northern Japan.
