The assembly plant, which produces the Chevy Equinox and GMC Terrain crossovers, has been idle since July 19th and was scheduled to resume production on August 2nd. It is now scheduled to return to production on August 23rd.

In the United States, the prolonged global automotive semiconductor shortage also continues to impact GM's operations. The Fairfax, Kansas plant will also extend its downtime by four weeks; the Lansing Grand River plant will return to production until August 30.
