DETROIT, Sept 25 (Reuters) – Production of Ford Motor’s most important vehicle, its F-150 ‌pickup ​truck, is down ⁠for nearly a ⁠week at a Detroit-area plant, according to a memo viewed by Reuters.

All production ​crews at Dearborn Truck Plant were canceled ⁠starting Thursday, through ⁠Tuesday, September 29, ​the memo said.

Production of the ​F-150 truck at other plants ‌was also affected. Ford’s Kansas City Assembly Plant canceled some shifts this ⁠week due to the same issue impacting Dearborn, a person familiar ⁠with ‌the matter said. ⁠Kentucky Truck Plant near ​Louisville ‌increased truck production ​to make ⁠up for losses elsewhere, the person said.
