Chrysler Group LLC has slowed production at four North American plants due to a lack of carpeting for vehicles after an East Coast supplier's plant was flooded last week in the tropical storm, the company said.
According to KHABAR KHODRO, Four plants had shifts canceled this week because of the supply shortage. They are Jefferson North in Detroit; Sterling Heights Assembly in Sterling Heights, Michigan; Toledo North in Toledo, Ohio; and Brampton Assembly in Brampton, Ontario.
The vehicles made at the plants are the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Chrysler 200, Dodge Charger, Dodge Durango, Dodge Avenger, Jeep Liberty, Dodge Challenger, Chrysler 300 and Jeep Nitro.
Workers at plants where production has been slowed are reporting to work to take training, said a Chrysler spokeswoman.
A carpet-making plant was flooded last week during heavy rains during Tropical Storm Lee.
