Ford halts F-150 production at two US plants
Ford has halted F-150 production at two of its US plants due to a supplier problem. The Dearborn Truck Plant in Michigan and the Kansas City Assembly Plant in Missouri have both paused production from September 24 through September 29, 2026. This has affected around 3,500 to 4,000 workers, according to an internal memo.
The supplier issue is unrelated to the ongoing aluminum shortage. Ford has also canceled or reduced F-150 production at the Kansas City Assembly Plant, while Transit production continues as usual. Ford has canceled 15 shifts of F-150 production at the Kansas City plant since September 1. The company had planned to build 67,200 model year 2026 F-150s by the end of the year, but the production halt may impact this.
