Production of the Jaguar XJ flagship sedan at the Castle Bromwich Assembly plant will be suspended for up to four days next week, the British automaker announced yesterday.
The company said production will be temporarily interrupted due to an issue in the supply chain, but declined to offer more details. "As a temporary measure, Jaguar Land Rover has stopped the Jaguar XJ production line due to a supply chain issue. Production of the Jaguar XJ will resume at the end of next week,” a Jaguar spokesman told Autocar.
The Castle Bromwich facility manufactures XF, XK and F-Type models as well, but the automaker says production of these vehicles are not affected.
As a reminder, the Jaguar XJ will feature a number of technological upgrades and interior improvements for the 2014 model year, including 18-inch Manra lightweight forged alloy wheels, a new center armrest, soft closing door technology, a revised entertainment system with two high-resolution touchscreens, and an optional Meridian Reference Audio System featuring Conversation Assist.
