Stellantis—the carmaker behind brands like Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep—is pausing production at two major North American assembly plants in Canada and Mexico, resulting in temporary layoffs at five U.S. facilities that supply them, the automaker confirmed in an internal email obtained by The Epoch Times.

The company will halt production at its Windsor Assembly Plant in Ontario, Canada, for two weeks starting April 7. In addition, the Toluca Assembly Plant in Mexico will be offline for the entire month of April, according to a message sent Thursday morning by Stellantis North America COO Antonio Filosa to all North American employees.
