Both Ford's Chicago Assembly Plant is mired in multiweek shutdowns due to the ongoing global semiconductor shortage.
Ford announced on April 14 it is extending a shutdown that began last week through the end of April at several facilities, including the Chicago Assembly Plant.
Production at the Chicago Ford plant was scaled back to one shift during the first week of February because of the chip shortage, which has roiled the auto industry this year, with sporadic closures across a number of automakers.
