The production of the Chevrolet Cruze has been put on hold due to an unmentioned supplier problem, as Reuters writes. General Motors has suspended the third shift and reduced the first and second shifts at its Lordstown, Ohio site.
GM did not mention the details of the problem that caused the production pause, but the company did mention that it is making sustained efforts to bring things back to normal. The Cruze is a key model for Chevy, as the vehicle holds second place in its class’ sales top - it was only outsold by the Toyota Corolla.

GM CEO Dan Akerson previously said that the company wants the Cruze to become the best selling vehicle in its class, but we don’t know if this is still possible considering the aforementioned issue.
