Jeep Factory Halted for Three Weeks After Aluminum Plant Fire

A Stellantis NV plant in Michigan will remain shut down for several weeks due to a shortage of key components, a sign of the growing fallout from a supplier’s aluminum factory fire last month.

Production at the automaker’s Warren plant, which makes the high-end Jeep Wagoneer SUV, was halted Oct. 13 and will stay idle until the week of Nov. 3, the company said via email. Stellantis cited “a parts shortage” without providing additional details.
