Labor violence at a Ford Motor Co. supplier in India has caused a shortage of transmission parts that will idle Ford’s Oakville, Ontario, assembly plant next week, the Automotive News reported.
Ford will lose production of “several thousand” of the crossover vehicles made at Oakville, spokesman Todd Nissen said today. The assembly plant makes the Ford Edge, Ford Flex, Lincoln MKX, and Lincoln MKT, the trade paper said.
Nissen said Ford is monitoring the situation, and it could affect other Ford plants, the Automotive News said. The Indian supplier causing the shortage is Rico Auto Industries in the industrial city of Gurgaon, just 30 miles outside of New Delhi, the paper said. The newspaper said more than 70 factories were affected by a one-day strike this week, the story said. (Automotive News)
