General Motors' Shreveport, Louisiana plant has apparently been hit with another bit of bad news out of China. Shreveport's KSLA TV is reporting that a batch of contaminated microchips from China will halt production at the plant the week of April 19. Not only that, the chip issue is also expected to impair
GMC Canyon and
Chevy Colorado production in Europe and at the Ramos Arizpal plant in Mexico.
A supplier in North Carolina provides brake control modules for the trucks, and that supplier gets chips for the modules from a supplier in China. It was the North Carolina company that
informed GM of the contaminated parts. Even when Hummer had a chance of continuing, Shreveport was
headed for closure and "bad asset" status, but this news doesn't help.
