AlwaysFree: Hyundai, KIA Lower Production In US Plants

South Korean carmakers Hyundai and KIA are cutting production at their US plants for another week due to a continued semiconductor shortage, industry sources said. Hyundai began lowering production at its sedan and SUV plant in Alabama early this week, while Kia’s sedan and compact utility vehicle plant in Georgia will run at just two shifts starting August 30 from three previously. Hyundai is expected to return to normal operation by August 30, while KIA is said to resume full production on September 7.
