LOUISVILLE, Ky. — After multiple shutdowns due to a global semiconductor shortage, Ford Motor Company announced several assembly plants will be open during traditional summer shutdown weeks.
Ford said the Kentucky Truck Plant employees will join plants in Michigan, Ohio and Illinois in working during typical shutdown weeks in late June and early July to build "must-have" vehicles. The decision means more U.S. plants will be working this summer than in more than 15 years.
