Widespread microchip shortages have plagued production at the plant, along with auto production facilities around the world, for over two years. These shortages have resulted in numerous shutdowns in Windsor.
The annual summer shutdown at the plant, which is used to retool the facility and prepare it for production of the 2023 models, has been reduced to one week this year, the week of July 4.
