GM to shut truck assembly plants again because of global chip shortage

Reuters has reported that the global semiconductor chip shortage is forcing General Motors to shut down its three North American full-size pickup truck assembly plants in Flint, Mich.; Fort Wayne, Ind.; and Silao, Mexico.

The automaker will resume production at its plants in Spring Hill, Tenn., and Ramos Arizpe, Mexico, which had been idled since July 19.
