DETROIT, Sept 25 (Reuters) - According to a memorandum obtained by Reuters, Ford Motor Company’s F.N most important model—the F-150 pickup—has halted production for nearly a week at one of its plants in the Detroit area.

The memo stated that all production shifts at the Dearborn Truck Plant have been cancelled since Thursday, through Tuesday, September 29.

F-150 pickup production at other plants has also been affected. According to a knowledgeable source, Ford’s Kansas City assembly plant also canceled some shifts this week due to the same issues as the Dearborn plant. The source noted that the Kentucky Truck Plant near Louisville has increased truck production to compensate for losses elsewhere.
