Ontario GM factory one of four cutting production due to chip shortage — via drivingdotca autonews

General Motors became the latest automaker hit by the global shortage of semiconductor chips as the U.S. automaker said Wednesday it will take down production next week at four assembly plants.

GM did not disclose how much volume it would lose or which supplier was affected by the chip shortage, but said the focus has been on keeping production running at plants building the highest-profit vehicles — full-size pickup trucks and SUVs as well as the Chevrolet Corvette sports car. GM said it intends to make up as much lost production as possible.

“Despite our mitigation efforts, the semiconductor shortage will impact GM production in 2021,” GM spokesman David Barnas told Reuters in a statement.
