General Motors (GM) has announced that it will idle its Bowling Green Assembly plant in Kentucky this week due to a parts shortage. The plant is responsible for producing the Chevrolet Corvette sports car.
The parts shortage is related to the ongoing global semiconductor chip shortage, which has disrupted automotive production around the world. GM has been forced to pause production at several of its plants in recent months due to the chip shortage.
GM has not specified how long the Corvette plant will be idle, but the company has said that it will work to minimize the impact on dealers and customers. The automaker has also said that it is working to secure additional semiconductor chips and other critical parts to help mitigate the effects of the supply chain disruption.
The idling of the Corvette plant is just the latest example of how the semiconductor chip shortage is impacting the automotive industry. Many automakers have been forced to slow or pause production at their plants due to the shortage, and it is unclear when the situation will improve.
