Stellantis to resume production at certain U.S. plants after production adjustments

(Reuters) -Jeep's parent company Stellantis (NYSE:STLA ) said on Wednesday that it will resume production at certain U.S. assembly plants after making "production adjustments" and will assess if further action is required.

The Wall Street Journal first reported that Stellantis had paused making its Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee SUVs in the past week.

Stellantis said in an emailed statement to Reuters that it continues to take the necessary actions to improve operations in the U.S. market, including making production adjustments at the Toledo North, Jefferson and Mack plants.

The production at these plants will resume on Thursday, it added.



On Tuesday, the automaker named Bob Broderdorf, who was its Ram brand operation's senior vice president and head of sales operations at Dodge, as the head of Jeep North America.

In July, the U.S. auto safety regulator opened a recall query into 94,275 Jeep Wrangler 4xe hybrid SUVs manufactured from 2021 through 2024.
