DETROIT — Stellantis is pausing production at assembly plants in Canada and Mexico as the company attempts to navigate President Donald Trump‘s new round of 25% automotive tariffs that took effect Thursday.
The downtime includes two weeks at the automaker’s Windsor Assembly Plant in Ontario, Canada, and the entire month of April at its Toluca Assembly Plant in Mexico. Both start Monday.
The actions will result in temporary layoffs of roughly 900-U.S. represented employees in addition to the thousands of employees at the assembly plants.
The Canadian plant produces the Chrysler Pacifica minivan and the recently released Dodge Charger Daytona EV. The Mexico plant produces the Jeep Compass SUV and Jeep Wagoneer S EV.
