It seems that because of a lack of spare parts “Made in China”, machines in FCA Kragujevac will rest during the next few weeks. The production was stopped on February 13 and there are rumours it could be restarted only at the end of the month or in the first week of March. The main victim is the popular model 500l.
Workers who were sent to forced leave will be paid as in other unplanned production stoppages, getting 65% of the full salary (or 60% in the main FCA subcontractor “FIAT Plastics”).
For the moment, the most disadvantageous shortages are those of CD players, which make part of any new car, plastic components used in production of bumpers (usually delivered by “FIAT Plastics”) and parts of instrument panels (produced in Serbia by “Adient”company that was bought by the Chinese from “Johnson Control”, a few years ago).
