Ford is suspending production of its F-150 trucks after a fire at a supplier's facility caused it to run out of parts for the nation's best-selling vehicle.
Ford will temporarily stop making the F-150 at its plant in Dearborn, Michigan, on Wednesday night. The company had already suspended truck production at a plant just outside Kansas City, Missouri. Those are the only plants that make the truck.

Well, you can't make trucks if you can't get the parts because the supplier's factory burned.

a big problem that is new and because many manufacturers are downsizing, after the vehicle is built they don't have parts available for the vehicles they have sold. That isn't a good reason to make a customer buy a new vehicle in the first place.

Maybe they can borrow the parts from GM

Grandpa's car had the interior radio/HVAc controller go out. None on our continent. He drove around for 5 weeks with a hole in his dash while it was sent off to be repaired. Dealer got it back, still didn't work, he traded the car in.
