Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Co. are curtailing production further in the latest examples of how a computer-chip shortage continues to affect auto makers.
GM on Thursday said it is idling its two main pickup plants, in Silao, Mexico, and Indiana. Both produce GMC Sierra pickups and Chevrolet Silverados. The company is also suspending production at three other factories for a couple of weeks, meaning no output of various SUV models including the Chevy Traverse.
