Some of the Detroit 3 s most popular products are taking much of the hit from the global chip shortage that continues wreaking auto industry havoc.
Of all the North American vehicle nameplates that have been affected by chip-related changes in scheduled production, the Detroit 3 have accounted for the top 10.
Ford Motor Co. has absorbed the largest loss, with nearly 325,000 vehicles taken out of its North American production schedules so far, according to Tuesday, May 18, data from AutoForecast Solutions.
But General Motors and Stellantis are close behind, with about 278,000 vehicles and 252,000 vehicles bumped from their respective schedules.
