DETROIT (Reuters) – Ford Motor Co on Wednesday closed 2 U.S. assembly plants as the coronavirus pandemic wreaked early havoc with the No. 2 U.S. automaker’s plan to restart North American production and start making its most rewarding vehicles again.
Ford closed its Dearborn, Michigan, plant due to a favorable COVID-19 test by one worker, while its Chicago assembly plant was closed due to a parts scarcity, Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker stated.
