Ford Motor Co. scheduled two weeks of down time at its factory that assembles the Focus compact and C-Max hybrid cars to trim inventory after the first drop in U.S. auto sales in 27 months.
Ford’s Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, Michigan, near Ford’s headquarters in Dearborn, will shut the weeks of Oct. 28 and Dec. 16, Kristina Adamski, a company spokeswoman, said in an e-mail. Days supply of both models rose after industrywide U.S. sales of cars and light trucks slipped 4.2 percent in September.
