A temporary solution has been found.
The semiconductor chip shortage continues to haunt the world s automakers and some tough decisions must be made. General Motors has already halted production of the Chevy Camaro and other models in order to help conserve what few chips it has left for more popular trucks and SUVs, specifically the Silverado 1500.
But now that reserved chip supply has nearly dried up. GM has confirmed to the Detroit Free Press that, starting this week, it will build certain 2021 light-duty full-size trucks without a fuel management module. This will be in effect until the model year changeover happening in late summer.
