Do you work for Toyota or GM?I work in the auto industry. It is not just the semiconductor issue.
The auto parts supply industry is and has been global for many years.
There are still multiple products that are being hit hard because of COVID impact to work forces.
Some governments are placing strict limits on the number of hours that can be worked as well as the distances that workers can travel to work.
These items along with Material supply issues all adds us to a very fluid and challenging market for Auto Makers.
Basically all Auto makers are impacted in one way or another.
Probably longer for the bronco. I’m on month 14 on It. So far 2 month wait for my 392 wrangler.This is a typical glass half-full/half-empty scenario.
- Half empty: Yes, Jeep production is feeling the pinch from the chip shortage.
- Half full: You would be waiting 12-18 months if you ordered a Ford Bronco...
I think I have one of your manual transmissions in my Fiat 124 Spider. It’s pretty slick.I work for Tier 1 OEM. The company name is Aisin.
We supply parts for Toyota, Lexus, GM, Honda, Acura, Daimler, Subaru, etc.
