Ford Canceled All F-150 Production Crews at Its Michigan Plant
Ford canceled all production crews at its Dearborn Truck Plant for nearly a week as Kentucky and Kansas City sites adjusted output, a memo said.
- Ford Motor halted F-150 production at its Dearborn Truck Plant from Thursday, September 24, through Tuesday, September 29, 2026, due to an undisclosed supply chain issue.
- The production stoppage leaves roughly 3,500 workers idle at Dearborn and has rippled to the Kansas City Assembly Plant, where some shifts were also canceled this week.
- Kentucky Truck Plant near Louisville increased its own truck production schedule to compensate for volume losses elsewhere, according to a person familiar with the matter.
- Dealer inventories for the F-Series are running short, with supplies currently sitting at an estimated 45 to 52 days, well below Ford's optimal target of 55 to 65 days.
- The F-Series has topped U.S. vehicle sales for 44 consecutive years, yet Ford faces broader struggles including declining market share through the third quarter, according to Cox Automotive.
