General Motors this weekend is cutting overtime production at two U.S. assembly plants that are producing their highly profitable full-size pickups due to the ongoing shortage of semiconductor chips affecting the global auto industry.
The plants in Flint, Michigan and Fort Wayne, Indiana make a mix of full-size pickups, including the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 and their larger siblings.
This is the first time the Detroit automaker has cut production delays on its full-size pickups due to months of chip shortages. GM has significantly reduced production at its auto and crossover plants in North America to give priority to chips for the company’s pickups as well as the company’s full-size SUVs.
