This afternoon we received word from our friends at the MidEngineCorvetteForum.com that the Corvette Assembly Plant is scheduling three weeks of closures this fall due to supplier-related parts constraints.

As was the case when the Assembly Plant shut down for three weeks over April, May, and June, the planned stoppage is being blamed on supplier-related parts constraints. We’ve been seeing plenty of constraints ongoing since the 2027s started down the line and while of the issues are related to carbon fiber and the Corvette’s aero pieces, we have heard about some other issues impacting production.

Just last Monday, the plant was only reduced to just one shift and it’s believed that a parts shortage was responsible.

Hopefully, this three week shutdown with allow Chevrolet’s parts suppliers and vendors a chance to catch up with whatever is causing the bottleneck in production.

As always, stay tuned to CorvetteBlogger for up-to-date information about production of America’s Favorite Sports Car!
