DETROIT (Bloomberg) -- General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co. canceled or shortened shifts at seven assembly plants because of weather-related road closings in Canada.

At GM, the changes affect production of the Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain compact sport-utility vehicles, the Chevrolet Impala sedan and Camaro Coupe, and the Cadillac CTS and STS models.

The Lansing Grand River assembly plant in Lansing, Mich., which makes the CTS and STS, closed earlier today because of a parts shortage caused by highway closings in Canada, said Chris Lee, a GM spokesman. He declined to specify the part.

Workers at GM's assembly plant in Oshawa, Ontario, were sent home early during the day shift and the late shift today was canceled, said Jason Easton, a spokesman. GM shortened shifts at its CAMI assembly plant in Ingersoll, Ontario, starting Monday, he said. The CAMI facility makes the Equinox and Terrain, and the Oshawa plant makes the Impala and Camaro.

Lambton County in Ontario declared a state of emergency because of a winter storm, the Ontario Provincial Police said today in a statement on its website. Police are rescuing drivers from about 360 stranded vehicles on Highway 402, which crosses over to Port Huron, Mich., the police said.

Is it taking longer to build Camaro's these days or did this storm collapse Minneapolis' stadium and Oshawa plant? :-)

The weather concerns are long over...roll back in this thread...
that lasted less than a day and a half..:thumbsup:

Minneapolis?...not to worry..:mad0259:

.....and let me check! :wub:

Thanks Becky. I'm plugged into the Camaro order history system, thus what I embedded in my post. Hmmm, does a dealer have a "deeper" view into build status?

I have a...
"Becky View"....
