View Comments
Stellantis NV is extending downtime another week at its Chrysler minivan plant in Windsor, Ontario, the automaker confirmed Tuesday.
The plant, home to the Chrysler Pacifica and Voyager, will idle the week of May 17. The plant has been down since late March and was shut down for three weeks in February before that due to the global semiconductor shortage that has shaken the automotive industry, thinned inventory at dealerships and increased vehicle prices.
The microchips are used in vehicle electronics from the steering wheel to the infotainment system, as well as numerous other components.
